Is it really possible, that D7 offers no SetWideString procedure?

Must I really copy WideChar by WideChar, from an PWideChar into an
WideString?

D4 does automatic conversion it creates a new WideString up to the
position of the first #0#0

Var
pWC :PWideChar;
WS1, WS2 :WideString;
S :String;
begin
// Get some data in memory
WS1 := 'Test Data'#0' More';
// Point a PWideChar at it
pWC := Addr( WS1[1] );
// Automatic conversion to a new WideString
// It will only get data up to #0#0
WS2 := pWC;
// Automatic conversion to Ansi String
S := WS2;
//
ShowMessage( S + ' ' + IntToStr(Length(S)) );
end;
