You mix here result and goal. If FPC supports new Delphi constructs
depends on the fact if somebody provides a patch. No more, no less.

Just as an example: if somebody provides patches to support Extended
Pascal, FPC will support Extended Pascal, nobody did so in >15 years.
Result: FPC supports no Extended Pascal features.
