That could be done... but it needs some common FPC standard -- via 
interfaces? Like ITreeElement, I HashElement? Anyway, I'm not good at 
"one cycle less" stuff, so such units would still need a lot of 
optimizing by someone else... I think I'd pass up on this one.

Oh my... I've got a huge library of my own things, usualy needing a lot 
of optimization, but mostly roguelike-games related :-/. I also have a 
few "libraries" written using Jedi-SDL.

This could work. But I guess the set standard for that documentation 
would be fpcdoc? Still need to figure out how to use that one... :-/
