the topic is well known. I have plan to add new modeswitch for that:

SCOPEDINTERFACEDESTROY

If you like you can try existing patch:

https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30409

anyway somehow Delphi (undocumented) way seems bad. SCOPEDINTERFACEDESTROY
would be big help for legacy code ported from Delphi...

FPC has more elegant alternative way for the same thing, you can simple use
*with*:

procedure Foo;
begin
  WriteLn('Foo >');
  with Bar do
  begin
    WriteLn('Foo <');
  end;
end;
