As a piece of anecdotal evidence, the fact that FPC
does not "properly" support interfaces was the reason
for at least one company I worked for to reject it and move to Delphi

(from Delphi 7).
Why didn't they just set a bounty or pay a compiler dev to fix it?
I'm sure that would be cheaper than buying lots of Delphi licences.
I don't think that this is something that can simply be fixed. As I mentioned
before, this behaviour would depend on FPC performing exactly the same kind of
optimisations for reference-counted entities as Delphi under all circumstances.
That is simply not a requirement that is maintainable.
Ah, right, I misinterpreted Alexander's email. I thought he was
referring to other interface bugs, not this specific "incompatibility".
