When dynamic strings are used all around, is the use of pointers to
ShortString still recommended? (fmodule contains a lot of them)
In many cases (almost all I found) the strings are duplicated when
assigned, because the given dynamic strings disallow to simply copy the
reference.
IMO P[Short]Strings only were useful when the referenced string shall be
changed later, with that change reflected automatically in all
references. Since this seems not to occur anywhere, I'd suggest to
replace or retype PShortString by [Ansi]String.
