Sorry, one thing I'm missing in this point - where exactly is the indexed
(SBCS codepage based) version in this if string always means either
UnicodeString or UTF8String depending on the context / defines? Would
there be no SBCS version any longer, or is this a third option, or what?
Was your point about "string", or "RTLString"?
