This string type is not reference > counted and may introduce a serious performance penalty. I had experience with WideString because I made a custom dataset that handle WideString field too. It is a bad beast. I followed the whole thread, and my opinion is that adding this feature to D7 - D2007 compiler is not good if this imply to break existing code, in particular when D2009 is ready to ship. If the programmer should rework its code it is better that is for D2009 than for an old version.
