Try

I am always astonished that we have come so far already!
Today programmers have to guess about coding of strings,
they cannot find out in documentation or by identifier name.
Only trial and error (the latter mostly when the program
is in production use) can be used. That's what I call C style
and is not what Niklaus Wirth had in mind.
IMO it must be possible to predict the encoding of strings
when writing the code (without running the program).
The Delphi Unicode solution: set the proper encoding in TFileStream (?
or TStringList), then the file is converted into UTF-16 on read, and
back again when written to disk. Then the coder has to deal only with
UnicodeStrings, and with AnsiStrings of codepage CP_ACP (system default)
if ever required.
