There is no difference between ansistring and string in {$mode delphi} and
{$mode objfpc}. In a future delphiunicode mode or something like that string
will be unicodestring, but that's not "code-page agnostic" either. The only
somewhat code page agnostic string type is RawByteString.

I doubt that such a feature will be added. If you want that, declare your own
string type with whatever default code page you want to use and use that type
everywhere.
