A codepage-aware single-byte string for those that want 1-byte
characters.
The shortstring is even still available.
IM (often stated) O, this does not help as long as TStrings does not
without forced auto-conversion support the string type the user is
inclined to choose.
Please check TStrings in trunk. This exists.
procedure LoadFromFile(const FileName: string; AEncoding: TEncoding); overload;
virtual;
procedure LoadFromStream(Stream: TStream; AEncoding: TEncoding); overload;
virtual;
The only 'problem' is that TStrings uses a single-byte string.
This cannot be solved properly except by duplicating the classes unit.
