This can be.

For in loops should be supported, but I've never seen this before:

What is for pointer(entity) in entities  supposed to do ?

It can be that this syntax is not supported (no surprise, since I don't have
a clue what this is supposed to do).

They should be the same.

As said, pas2js uses fcl-passrc, and pas2js handles inifiles just as FPC
does.

You must provide valid include path and file resolvers, of course.
