I did this list according to what I expect regarding to different 
numerical types (like integer and real) or two really different string 
types (like short string and long string).

With that, an incorrectly used var parameter results in a compiler error 
message, while the other cases result in conversion (not really sure 
with type cast).

In fact the var parameter case is most interesting regarding new strings.

While in the other cases the system can decide at runtime what do do 
(with respect to the encoding ID (s) ), with a var parameter the type 
names might be used to generate an error message at compile time.
