[Lazarus] LazUtils/LazUtf16 - why "widestring"

[AlexeyT via Lazarus]

function UTF16CharacterLength(p: PWideChar): integer;
function UTF16Length(const s: widestring): PtrInt; overload;
function UTF16Length(p: PWideChar; WordCount: PtrInt): PtrInt; overload;
function UTF16Copy(const s: UnicodeString; StartCharIndex, CharCount: 
PtrInt): Unicodestring;

function UTF16CharStart(P: PWideChar; Len, CharIndex: PtrInt): PWideChar;
function UTF16Pos(const SearchForText, SearchInText: UnicodeString; 
StartPos: PtrInt = 1): PtrInt;
function UTF16CharacterToUnicode(p: PWideChar; out CharLen: integer): 
Cardinal;

function UnicodeToUTF16(u: cardinal): widestring;
function IsUTF16CharValid(AChar, ANextChar: WideChar): Boolean;
function IsUTF16StringValid(AWideStr: widestring): Boolean;
function Utf16StringReplace(const S, OldPattern, NewPattern: WideString; 
Flags: TReplaceFlags): WideString;


Pls, use UnicodeString type here

yup! i have a ton-load of scripts in perl, python, python3, bash, and just plain 
commands as if i were to type them manually... none of them have extensions on 
them... i don't even know what they are written in unless i go into them with an 
editor to modify them for some reason ;)

Then it seems Windows Explorer is right up your alley. :) They hide the 
file extension by default. Users (like me) have to explicitly go into 
the settings and enable "show file extensions" option.

Hell, even Microsoft is catching up with that idea (although minor) and now
use 4 letter extensions like *.docx etc.

One reason is simply habit, but also because these extensions are visible
to the user more often than not and having long extensions in filename
lists (like, e.g, when using version control) become redundant noise and in
some cases it takes space (like in file managers). Up to 4 letters is fine
for me, 5 is stretching it and anything above that is only something i'd
use for file types that i wont see often in a list and even then only if i

patch makes red hilite of current ID in the listbox. Can you tell how to 
make listbox 2x-3x wider? it's narrow.

I applied the patch from here:
 https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=32974
It looks good to me.
Please test everybody. Does it have negative side-effects of some kind?
