Hi,
The compiler will do this wrapping anyway if you use ansistrings, so the

But using strings or anything similar causes a lot of overhead
It is really bad
Depends on your code.
Nobody forces you to use ansistrings or unicodestrings.
You can perfectly write your own library for string management if you are
so inclined.
But I for one am grateful that I don't need to bother with memory management for
strings, except perhaps on special occasions.
So I think it is really good.
