IMO Lazarus (and FPC) should follow the Delphi way, with strictly
separate Unicode and pre-Unicode versions. Nobody can expect that new
VCL (Unicode) components can be back-ported to Ansi versions.
As right now the current (Unicode aware) LCL version (forcing UTF-8 code
in type ANSIString variables and with this provides some problems that
the pre-Unicode version did not show) this already has been done.
So the move to "new strings" would be the move to _another_ Unicode
awareness, that - regarding the legacy user code - hopefully could be
even more compatible to the long gone pre-Unicode version.
