This is because of the conformance rule that you have a catcall reporting
even though in this particular case it is actually safe at run-time since
the agent will know how to handle STRING_8 since it can handle
STRING_GENERAL.

Due to the above. Ideally we can add some helper routines for those special
cases where STRING_GENERAL is used as an actual generic parameter. For
example, we have `strings' and `strings_8' for all descendants of
EV_LIST_ITEM_LIST. If we added `set_strings_8'/`set_strings_32' then the
problem disappear assuming that you change your code accordingly.

Unfortunately no.
