Ok, so code would be something like this:

var
  OSString: RTLString;
  MyString: UTF8String;
begin
  OSString := SomeRTLRoutine;
  MyString := OSString;

?

It will be funny to use a string type about which nothing is known. I
wonder if people will abuse this and start operating system dependent
code.
