We are adding those features we deem useful or are sorely needed for Delphi
compatibility especially when said feature allows something that isn't
easily possible with existing functionality. This is the case for anonymous
functions and function references.
Features that are merely syntactic sugar for existing functionality have a
much lower chance to be implemented.
