In hind sight, using TBytes or TMemoryStream and it would have been very clear that it is a storage container for byte sized data, and no automatic conversion (by the compiler) would be done to data stored in such containers.
Call me lazy but I don't want to reinvent the wheel and re-implement from scratch the functionality that a plain ansistring provides and TBytes to this day doesn't. I mean, TBytes is just an "array of char". I can't (easily) add a byte to the end, cut a slice of the bytes, find one byte in the array, etc. OK, I can, but I have to program it all by myself while a string does all that and more and probably it's a lot more efficient.
