Meaning/implies: when you are the compiler guardian/owner you can simply 
enforce string to unicode or ansi or ebdic or whatever based on the 
platform/os defaults. Like most of FPC already does. And leave it to the 
programmer to deviate by using the A alternative api. We could not do 
that since we do not have an underlying compiler to our kol framework. 
So we chose KolString. FPC can define it opaque as  a compiler switch 
with a default.
