1) Why UTF8String made incompatible with AnsiString(CP_UTF8)
( UTF8String = type AnsiString(CP_UTF8); )? Why not an alias?

An alias allows to assign strings of *any* encoding, with possibly fatal
consequences. A strict UTF8String type allows for implicit conversion,
whenever required, so that such a string can contain nothing but UTF-8
encoded characters.
So if I declare "MyString : AnsiString(CP_UTF8)" and assign win1251
encoded string to it no conversion will be made? It`s strange.

Huh? No, of course there will be a conversion. I don't know what DoDi is worried about here.
