In Delphi such strings with codepage need to be defined with "type" and 
thus they are different types (not compatible regarding "var").

The following example fails to compile at the call of Test.

====source begin====
program strvartest;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

uses
   SysUtils;

type
   CyrillicString = type AnsiString(1251);
   LatinString = type AnsiString(1252);

procedure Test(var aStr: CyrillicString);
begin

end;

var
   s: LatinString;
begin
   s := 'Foo';
   Test(s);
end.
====source end====
