[fpc-pascal] Is there a StringRefCount() equivalence?

[Bihar Anwar]

Because there are few certain condition when we need to observe what happened to ansistring/unicodestring variable. In my case now, I need it to learn how reference counting works. For example, using Move() on ref-counted string type is considered danger unless we do it properly, and I need to verify that everythings is correct after such operation.

I need StringRefCount() equivalence only for convenience, instead of writing a special codes/function in my program to achieve this. Well, if Delphi care about this need, why FPC not? :-)

Why would you need that?
