[fpc-pascal] Generic String Functions

[Michael Schnell]

DXE Strings again :-) ,

What is the relation between Generic Functions and (static) DXE String 
encoding schemes ?

Can you (e.g.) do a (silly) Generic Function that takes two strings of 
any (but identical) encoding type, concatenates them and outputs the 
result in the same (static) encoding type, so that you can call the 
beast to handle the encoding type specified by the caller from "outside" 
(e.g. in another unit) without unnecessary conversions.

If this is possible, how is it implemented ?

Could a single "Generic TStringlist" be done that way to allow for 
storing and retrieving Strings of any - but ubiquitous - (static) 
encoding Type ?
