IMHO it makes sense to design/provide (for..in) Enumerators in strings,
providing one printable character after the other with respect to the
actual coding.
IMHO this would be a decent way to help the users avoid the myString[i]
notation, that asks for incompatibility between differently coded
strings and between different fpc releases and between fpc and Delphi XE.
While, for speed sake, it does not seem to make sense to do an
implementation of something similar to myString[i] in a "regarding
printable-character" way, an enumerator offers no speed disadvantage and
can be used in most of the cases we right now are inclined to do
myString[i] (and very successfully did before Unicode was introduced).
Maybe this is possible by somehow providing the enumerator with the
coding style before using it, while "string" is not a dynamically coded
"NewString". With "NewString", it's rather obvious, how the enumerator
should work. (And AFAI understand there will be a move to Strings to be
Delphi XE compatible "NewStrings" by default some day soon.)
