<big>Even if I am not satisfied with the current state of Lazarus on
that behalf, I would not dare to suggest that Lazarus should do any
change here before the next version of FPC offers a new string handling

that any conversions can be done automatically, or with multiple string
types defined of which the compiler knows how to convert them if
necessary, or with whatever solution the FPC team comes up with. <br>
