In our previous episode, Martin Schreiber said:
think that is still bad though, but if you switch typing string to explicit
ansistring, there is no rush), but I think at least public
programming interfaces should be free of such gotchas.

Then please implement such a handy character string compatible automatic
memory managed buffer type.
If it IS 1-byte character data, ansistring is fairly ok. The whole
discussion was about stuffing binary data in a character type.
This was about a case where it was not character data.
Exactly. An automatically memory managed buffer type where binary and
character data can be combined in a convenient manner and optimal
performance. As FPC 2.6 AnsiString is.
