No, it is an internal design by a developer that got fed up with the
strange defaults and behaviour of the original TListView. It happened
back in 1998 (for Delphi 3 at the time).
It has been added to ever since with new features so it is hard to
port the applications needing this to FPC/Lazarus if it cannot be also
converted.
