WideString was reference counted on Windows when it was introduced in FPC. The
FPC revision was 1.9.x IIRC. The first bug report I made in "wide" area is
from 30.4.2004 and revision 1.9.3.

Later it has been changed to OLE string on Windows because of Delphi
compatibility.

Now I understand what you ment with "which
were reference counted on all platforms at the beginning!" ;) [I came to
FPC during the 2.2 series] Thank you for clarification.
Nevertheless to avoid confusion one should pay attention to which string
type one mentions.

Sven
