I have a TWideStringList implementation if you are interrested. I got
the code somewhere and kept it for a rainy day.

If I dare comment - that's a bold statement to make. ;-) I know a few
more "large" projects using Free Pascal.  Off the top of my head
Pixel32 being one.

In which case I suggest Lazarus start using a custom/alias string type
to ease mirgation. Something like was done with TTranslateString.
Maybe TLCLString = String
