Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think WideString was reference
counted an all platforms "in the beginning" - like Martin mentioned.
Later it was changed, and the new UnicodeString become the "reference
counted on all platforms" type.
So could somebody make a definitive statement: for basic two-byte
Unicode handling, what types should be used?
I've got a couple of terminal emulators using WideChar and WideString
for internal manipulation, what /should/ I be using? and where does it
leave things like Sorokin's regex unit, which similarly use WideChar and
WideString?
