The problem as, that it's very different to Delphi. Bottom line: not
Delphi compatible and very misleading.

To quote Jonas Maebe:
"The problem is that Delphi 2009's "unicodestring" type is something
completely different. It is what you (Florian) are developing in the
cpstr branch. Our current unicodestring is an utf16string or something
like that."
