What you are describing is almost equal to the "new" style Delphi
Classes (actually, this is already over 7 years old, so it is not so
new - but I use "new" here to distinguish it from the original BP
object model). That type of Delphi compatibility, is, I believe, on the
to-do list - but perhaps not a high priority.
There is also the "Object-Oriented Extensions to Pascal" proposal, of 
the Technical Committee X3J9, see 
<http://www.pascal-central.com/OOE-stds.html>.

In passing, I have to mention that I personally prefer the BP object 
model, see section "E.6.5.1  The Object Model. ... The reference model 
has the following disadvantages: ...". Still, it is a given fact that 
traditional Macintosh Pascal compilers implemented the reference model.
