Optimisation = do not use a temp, but directly assign a function  
result to its eventual destination. FPC's non-optimisation is that it  
does use intermediate temps in some cases where Delphi doesn't.

Because we have already gone through several cycles now of
a) you mentioning this alleged optimisation that FPC does which  
supposedly breaks interfaces behaviour compared to Delphi
b) several people explaining that it is not an FPC optimisation and  
that it is wrong to count on it Delphi too (since it will go wrong  
there as well under various circumstances)
c) you saying thank you for the explanation
d) you again mentioning this alleged optimisation that FPC does which  
supposedly breaks interfaces behaviour compared to Delphi
e) ...

Since you're not stupid, the only other explanation I can come up with  
is that you are simply saying "thank you" to shut people up, but apart  
from that are completely ignoring what they actually say. And I find  
that indeed offensive.
