if my understanding is correct this should allow all the widestrings

What's wrong with
type
tmywidestring = type array of widechar;
?
- Null based index.
You can ignore the char 0?
- mywidestring:= 'abcde'; not possible.
Why not? Overload the := operator?
- No terminating null character.
This is a matter of implementation, i.e. the helper routines.
- Lower performance due to nulling memory by setlength.
Overload setlength.
- No unique check by assigning to character.
True. But maybe we should simply allow to overload [] then.
