[fpc-pascal] Conversion of buffer of UnicodeChars to AnsiString

[LacaK]

Hi,

is there smarter way how to convert buffer of UnicodeChars to AnsiString
taking into account codepage conversion as:

as := String(UnicodeCharLenToString(buffer, buflen shr 1));

?

And second question if I want to avoid warnings: "Implicit conversion
from WideString to AnsiString ..." in cases:

as := ws;

I must use only explicit typecast:

as := AnsiString(ws); ?
