Except when you find a bug in the lcl, and have to dig in to it..

In theory one could never look into the lcl or underlying api's

in practice, sometimes there is an issue to be resolved... like when I
fired up the macOS laptop and found that moving the mouse crashed the app,
and Dmitry helped me figure out why ;-)  Had too look into the macOS
related lcl code
