Sven, not to be argumentative,
Funny.
You _are_ argumentative, considering the answers you got and number of posts :-)
(no offense intended)
but you do get that for a long time
programmers have learned how to write code and use libraries by examining
them?
That may be true for ordinary libraries.
But the RTL is equivalent to Libc.
I suggest you hold a poll for the number of people that learned C (or C++)
by studying libc or libstd (or whatever it is called in C++).
I expect you will be disappointed.
Secondly, I don't think the sysutils or system units are a particularly good
example. They are a historical image of the attempts (and possible mistakes) of
Borland, Inprise, CodeGear, Embarcadero and now Idera, dating back to Turbo
Pascal.
Hardly good study material for learning.
My goal is simply to make it easier for the people who would want to
pick up and start using Lazarus.
A most noble goal, which I wholeheartedly support !
Therefor I humbly suggest you continue your much-appreciated efforts in writing
much more documentation examples and tutorials, improve the documentation engine,
help out in getting fppkg and its upcoming web front end deployed.
I think that will help a lot more than us reorganizing the RTL unit files.
Michael.
