However, the "platform" part in it, depends on the string type used
that all libraries have been compiled with. I.e. regardless of your
setting, "assign" would accept a ansistring or unicodestring depending
on the platform, and this will be mostly dependand on wether the
platform has an actual unicode API.
IMHO, all libraries should use the individual string types, so that the
compiler knows that it needs to convert "String" to/from whatever type
the library API uses if the user uses another string type explicitly or
by setting "String" to whatever type.
Moreover the user should have the possibility to recompile a library so
that it uses the string type he desires in it's API. Hey we do use open
source here !!! Recompiling on a per project base should not be an issue.
