1. Currently there is this huge work going on to get trunk to a reasonable and usable shape again and until that is done (and maybe RTL changes as well) it is (in my opinion (!) ) not reasonable to think about changing the meaning of "string" at all.

BTW.: is there a chance to compile Lazarus and Lazarus based projects using the trunk FPC any time soon ? This would help trying out new Strings provided there is a possibility to define some of the variables to be new strings in user code.

The last FPC version I installed was "Free Pascal Compiler version 2.7.1 [2011/08/26] for i386". "/usr/bin/ppc383" points to "../lib/fpc/2.7.1/ppc386".

So, when installing a Unicode enabled it might be a good idea to do this to a separate subdirectory in usr/lib/fpc to be able to switch to and fro. Maybe it would be nice to provide this by changing the version ID.
