I don't think it's really true that you'll *always* need long strings for
multi-line stuff, however, if you're concerned about this in general there
is in fact a way to switch between {$H+} and {$H-}:
program Example;
{$push}
{$H+}
var Ansi: String;
{$pop}
var Short: String;
begin
WriteLn(GetTypeKind(Ansi));
WriteLn(GetTypeKind(Short));
end.
which prints:
tkAString
tkSString
indicating they're the types you'd want / expect.
