Florian,
I can only --barely at that-- guess the amount of work and effort you
have put into FPC and I appreciate it all immensely.
[No, this isn't grovelling. It is sincere. But, I just wanted to say it,
before moving on to the next paragraph.]
Would I have your blessing if I proposed a bounty to unentwine them so
that each one of those major modules becomes objects in tehir own right
--commnicating with one another through public/published events and
properties.
I can guess that it would be hard to do, but I feel it will be
absolutely impossible without your (and the rest of compiler team's)
blessing.
