according to the manual AnsiStrings are 'copied on change'.
Correct.
Can the compiler be forced to copy on duplication?
No, but the RTL can be:
Procedure UniqueString(Var S : AnsiString);
This procedure will make variable S point to an ansistring with the same contents as the current one, but with reference count 1 (so it will generate a copy if necessary).
