[fpc-pascal] UTF-16 strings

[Mark Morgan Lloyd]

When targeting not-Windows (i.e. predominantly Linux but possibly other 
unixes) and wanting to do character-by-character parsing of 16-bit 
Unicode characters, what's the "best" string type to use- WideString?

I can see various discussion from the past, but is there a corresponding 
e.g. TWideStringList?
