You are right George. I'm not entirely sure what the standards are with
everything, but it would be nice to have something public and concrete.
Things that already exist cannot have their API changed - they can be
refactored, but as a black box it might be completely identical. Things
like changing a sorting algorithm is no problem (so long as it's still a
comparison sort).

It would be also great if there was an official set of interfaces (not
necessarily in interface type form but API description) describing all
these generic containers and algorithms.
Thus, all implementations which follow these interfaces are
interchangeable.
I believe this is even more important than 4-th or 5-th implementation.

You could try to adjust the FGL unit to use the pluggable
sorting system introduced here:
https://svn.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=revision&revision=41167
Wouldn't that system itself need to be generic and not just use
void pointers first? Or is that part of what you meant?
IMO something FGL would benefit from also is the removal of the
probably-not-the-best-design inheritance from non-generic TFPSList
to everything else, which prevents inlining in a large number of
places (the compiler notes indicating such are visible basically
any time you use anything from FGL.)
