Automatic type conversion should be able to handle this (as the new type 
would preserve and thus dynamically know the type of the information it 
hold).

A more sever problem with third parties is that they might derive a new 
class from TStrings. I did not decently check what happens to legacy 
code in that case. I do hope this can be automatically handled in most 
cases.
