An exponential growing function applied to all strings would have many
worse case behaviours, where it would eat up heaps of memory for nothing.
This is why it is better to have the programmer indicate it is a growing
string some how (or have a separate type, like TStringBuilder mentioned by
Jonas)
It would be nice if ansistring had a SetCapacity function to accompany
SetLength but in leu of that I think making a new type is the best idea.
I think we have enough string types

TStringbuilder is fine . Not every problem needs new syntax or types to
solve.
I second that.
