[fpc-pascal] StrToInt is using ShortString buffer?

[Alexey Tor.]

Hello. As I see in the commit 
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/commit/beecbf1581a986f544fde77aa428e05c21a35f6f

StrToInt always uses ShortString buffer:

*Function fpc_Val_SInt_ShortStr(DestSize: SizeInt; Const S: ShortString; 
out Code: ValSInt): ValSInt;*

If it is correct: Can we skip using ShortString buffer and have e.g. 
'common' PChar base function for AnsiString/ShortString?
