I wasn't askin for changing the default.
just for how to do
procedure foo(x: utf8string); begin end;

foo(x: rawbytestring)
And what happens if an app did read data from some external source
(serial port) and then wants to declare what encoding it is?

I hadn't seen that.
That may help. Though not the best solution...
I can call it before calling the "foo" proc. But I must revert it
afterwards, or at sometime later, the string will be translated, when
it will be used in a normal string again (yet expected to keep being
utf8..
Yes, I know, what i want to do, is not what it was designed for.
ultimately a huge update to the entire source will be needed... but
now I need a temporary solution until then
Don't use utf8string type until all Lazarus code use it.
