Then better start filing bug reports to all those 3rd party libraries
and components - they have been abusing the system and will silently
fail. Not to mention that FPC is almost at v3.0.4 and the new string
changes were introduced in v3.0.0 already.
Wait a minute, why "abuse"?
After all, before code aware strings, an ansistring could store any kind
of arbitrary data with no problem and no conversion, and made it
extremely easy to, e.g., add bytes to a buffer or find and extract data
from the same buffer.
*If* code that worked before (and dare I say without abusing the
language) suddenly breaks, the bug is in the compiler and not in the
library.
(I remarked the "if" because I don't know if that's the case, according
to Bo Berglund's experience it is)
