"ByteString" only requires a dedicated encoding (value), which makes

The colleague I mentioned told me that with Delphi XE2 (but maybe nit
with Delphi versions < XE2 and >= 2009) "ANSIString" _is_ exactly the
"pre 2009" string type, while "String" (and friends" is the new style
dynamically encode string type. As I don't have any Delphi >= 2009, I
can't verify this, but at least using the assumptions produced a project
workable with both our versions.
