Taking a brief look at the XE2 internals you seem to be right and he he 
was mistaken.

Maybe he would be better off using ANSIString(0) or ANSIString($FFFF) to 
be sure that his doing will not be influenced by the locale setting of 
the system the code is compiled on or runs on.

Just _hoping_ that the code generated by XE2 for "ANSIString" will not 
be a lot slower that that generated by Delphi < 2009 for "String".
