IMHO, the reference counting "element-size and encoding-brand enabled" (tm) data type is a really powerful concept. But unfortunately there is no decent implementation done for that yet. As Graeme suggested in the discussion in fpc-devel, the Embarcadero syntax designers provided a really nice paradigm (even though I hate the misleading "ANSI" and "CodePage" wording, which easily could be avoided), but the Embarcadero code implementers messed it up. And fpc simply followed :-( .
