(Why) Has this (IMHO very important) project stopped ?

I do know that there are a lot of logical / compatibility problems to be
considered / solved (besides coding the stuff, of course). But I feel
that it's necessary to provide a "modern" string type (maybe even as the
default) to allow FPC to keep up with "the industry".
