I just wonder why special UTF8 functions are required at all. From the

I don't think so. It just opens a can of worms. The user will believe
that there is no need to pay attention to encoding, the compiler will do
it all for him.
This care only applies to non-Unicode strings, that's why I suggested an
Encoding flag for just these files. Conversion into UTF-8 or Widestring
is lossless, any other conversion should require an explicit encoding.
