I understand that storing uncoded Bytes in UTF8-Strings (hence in fpc) 
works as good as it always had, as long as all strings are defined with 
the same code branding as TSrings (and friends) is (i.e. UTF8), because 
there never will be a conversion.

But it does not work in Delphi, as here TStrings is defined to be UTF-16.
