(nsstring)
The advantage when using such a type is that you also only need to
convert it (internally, hidden from the user) on demand or when some
helper routine requires it (such as e.g. case-insensitive
comparisons). Otherwise, no conversion whatsoever is necessary.
Do they have some way to indicate that a procedure/method only
supports a
certain encoding?
No.
Or do you have to manually force the encoding in that way?
Yes.
I prefer a declarative way to solve this.
In the Pascal case, you could simply declare your parameter as
UTF8String (or whatever) and the compiler would insert a conversion
from this universal string type into a utf8string.
