Move() to Insert/Delete item(s) from a dynamic array of string

Question

Using System.Move() to insert/delete item(s) from an array of string is not as easy as insert/delete it from other array of simple data types. The problem is ... string is reference counted in Delphi. Using Move() on reference-counted data types needs deeper knowledge on internal compiler behaviour.

Can someone here explain the needed steps for me to achieve that, or better with some snippet codes, or direct me to a good reference on the internet?

Oh, Please don't tell me to use the "lazy-but-slow way", that is, for loop, I know that.

Move() works fine with reference counted types like strings or interfaces, and actually used internally in Delphi's arrays and lists. But, now, in general case, Move() is no longer valid because of managed records feature.
