Yep. There is no logical reason to  think other, but the fear that 
"string" is a moving target regarding the unavoidable upcoming of Unicode.

So a dedicated type for this with all features "AnsiString" offers but 
with no Unicode threat would be appropriate for this.

We very often do need flexible easy to use code-ignorant byte buffers.
