Yes indeed. FPC already has an overwhelming amount of string types. As I said though a SetCapacity option for growing would be nice (for dynamic arrays also) because += is such a common operation. As it stands I often don’t use dynamic arrays (and now ansistring) because of growing limitations, which is a shame really.
