Sorry, no idea how that relates to this discussion. Also, please drop
the childish remarks. Grow up and act your age!

I meant the usage of String, and how it's meaning can be toggled with a
simple compiler directive - yet no other code changes are required from
the developers side. As such, the String type (meaning AnsiString) can
naturally evolve to mean "a String with text encoding support" - no need
for a new type like EncodingEnabledString or CodePageString etc, etc.

Learn your own compiler! ;-) Theo is correct, mode ObjFPC defaults to
ShortString, not AnsiString.
