It might be possible but the fpc scanner/parser are rather interwinded
with other parts of the compiler, just to name an example: pmodules.pas
parses units and programs but controls also code generation and handles
symtables etc. for them.

FPC isn't moving that fast nowadays regarding syntax so keeping up
shouldn't be that hard.
