<p>You are right George. I'm not entirely sure what the standards
are with everything, but it would be nice to have something public
and concrete. Things that already exist cannot have their API
changed - they can be refactored, but as a black box it might be
completely identical. Things like changing a sorting algorithm is
no problem (so long as it's still a comparison sort).</p>

<div>It would be also great if there was an official set of
interfaces (not necessarily in interface type form but API
description) describing all these generic containers and
algorithms.</div>
<div>Thus, all implementations which follow these interfaces are
interchangeable.</div>
<div>I believe this is even more important than 4-th or 5-th
implementation.</div>

<div>You could try to adjust the FGL unit to use the
pluggable sorting system introduced here: <a

<div>Wouldn't that system itself need to be generic and not
just use void pointers first? Or is that part of what you
meant?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>IMO something FGL would benefit from also is the
removal of the probably-not-the-best-design inheritance
from non-generic TFPSList to everything else, which
prevents inlining in a large number of places (the
compiler notes indicating such are visible basically any
time you use anything from FGL.)</div>
