It can, but there is absolutely no guarantee that it does. In fact the
opposite is true. The resources of a compiler vendor are incomparable with
there resources of the community. More you do at the language level worse
it becomes. (I think this was a discussion in late 60s. Already then it was
clear.)

And where is any incompatibility? Why array or record cannot be interfaces?
