I'm more talking about the macroscopic perspective. Of course the binary code
may be different, but does it have the same concept of what a specific block of
source "means"?

Or, put differently,

Should it also do something *similar*?

Just from the things that come up at least twice a year in the time since I
started actively following the lists... tempvar allocation and lifetimes
(especially with respect to interface refcounting), TBitmap Pixelformat & co,
LCL event order, my pet peeve small type memory layout...
I get why most of them are/must be different, it's just that code compiles, but
stops working. That's kinda the opposite of what the technical definition of
"source-code compatible" means.
