Yeah. In fact, we could set up several self-help groups of codepage 
victims ;-)

https://wiki.freepascal.org/Unicode_Support_in_Lazarus#Assign_string_literals_to_different_string_types 
is scaring.

All the doubts, questions, and discussions prove that current system is 
counter-intuitive and confusing.
I'm sorry, I don't want to bash, but code pages system must be revised 
almost from scratch, even breaking compatibility. It is a heavy lodge 
that FPC is carrying. The longer it takes to get rid of it, the worse.
