Ansi and any other dynamic strings already have length longint that allows

excellent... i've been confused by all the various string changes that have been
made in the recent years since i joined the lists... the UTF stuff really spun
my head around with all the various discussions and arguments... i'm still not
sure i understand it... i don't need UTF but i hope that my newer programs are
written properly to handle UTF if it ever comes up... they're generally console
applications reading textual data from elsewhere and processing for local output...
