Yes, Delphi does that. Future FPC versions will do automatic

It's a long winding debate whether or not this is a good idea from a
technical POW, but as Delphi does this, FPC seems to need to follow.
In fact there are decent positive aspects.
But it obviously is a negative aspect if TStringList and such functions
are implemented using a fixed encoding scheme forcing conversions to and
fro when e.g. using TStringList as an intermediate store. Here, a
"generic" implementation (which Delphi does not provide) would be good.
IMHO this is doable without loosing Delphi compatibility or performance.
