Is there a big demand? Examples? Because I write most of the code myself I 
don't know the market well.
Maybe if FPC clearly states that it will not follow Delphi blindly and defines 
what Delphi devels must do to be FPC compatible and to have the free multi 
platform alternative there will be more FPC/Delphi compatible code?
Now where Embarcadero uses FPC for iOS development is probably a good moment 
to do so.
