There is no 'hard coded UTF8' stringlist.
This is an assumption made by Lazarus LCL, which - depending on the
version
of FPC - sets the default single-byte string codepage to UTF8.
TStringList is not part of Lazarus, and hence must cater for other
codepages
as well.
Of Course I do know all this and this is exactly what I tried to point out.
In fact TStringList (fpc) is hard coded to 8 Bit, and hence can hold any
8 bit encoding, including UTF-8 and the German ANSI Variant used for the
file I try to load. and it does not do any conversion at all.
Now Lazarus seems to set the compiler to by default handle strings as
UTF-8 coded.
Not the compiler, the RTL.
