I am not familiar with the compilers soucecode. That will take some time I 
think. I don't think that it is that difficult to implement.

If the identifyer that was not found is named "result" then a compiler 
message "are you in the right syntax-mode? only ObjFPC (-MObjfpc) or Delphi 
(-Mdelphi) mode supports a function result" is shown.

That will help beginners to stay motivated instead of (maybe) searching 
another language.
