(For the record: I do hate this argument. Especially regarding the
latest moves of Delphi getting more and more incompatible to itself. fpc
can easily be both more "stringent", more versatile and more platform
independent.)
Additionally container structures can be considered essential for
basically every software while a timing component is not...
(For the record: I do hate this argument. fpc (and even Delphi) can very
decently be used for embedded software and much more non-Desktop or
"special Desktop" (e.g. Gaming) purposes.)
And you don't think we FPC developers have enough to do with the
remaining RTL and FCL on all those platforms we support?
Of course you are right. I did not want to push anybody. I just see that
here the best possible multi-platform support is provided.
Then let it be put in Lazarus in components/epiktimer ... Lazarus
releases more often than FPC does.
Hmm.
While I personally in fact would like to _use_ it for a Lazarus
enhancement, I would be happy to see it usable without Lazarus.
