And with the way I described we can at least provide a type that

if String should be changed to UnicodeString in the future.
I just did a component using Delphi < 2009 (as I don't have a greater
version) and gave it to a colleague that uses XE2 who will implement it
in his project.
I did
Type
ByteString = ANSIString.
{$if UNICODE}
TByteStringList = TANSIStringList;
{$else}
TByteStringList = TStringList;
{$endif}
So it works for both and I can happily use the type ByteString for
storing uncoded 8 bit entities.
To me here the Term "ANSI" is extremely ugly, but it can be confined to
a few lines on the top :) .
I do suppose that this will work in Lazarus as well (at least when
adding some more ifdefs).
