And then there is of course ReadStringList/WriteStringList.
Unless your systemcodepage is UTF8, dataloss will occur with
characters outside your codepage.
There does not seem to be a proper solution for that without enforcing
a UTF8 encoding on the individual strings (you cannot simply set Text
property for that).
AFAIK we don't have a TUnicodeStringList?

In hindside, with this Unicode problem in mind, using a TStringArray
would have been better.
AFAIK Delphi does not implement a ReadStringList/WriteStringList.
