In hind sight, using TBytes or TMemoryStream and it would have been
very clear that it is a storage container for byte sized data, and no
automatic conversion (by the compiler) would be done to data stored in
such containers.
Call me lazy but I don't want to reinvent the wheel and re-implement
from scratch the functionality that a plain ansistring provides and
TBytes to this day doesn't.
I mean, TBytes is just an "array of char". I can't (easily) add a byte
to the end, cut a slice of the bytes, find one byte in the array, etc.
OK, I can, but I have to program it all by myself while a string does
all that and more and probably it's a lot more efficient.
Not to mention that its index starts from 0. If I wanted to program in C
I would be programming in C, not pascal ;-)
