I would say that the Lazarus .dci file you mention is illuminating but 
not definitive, since Lazarus is derivative, based on the Free Pascal 
dialect. For that the most concise description of keywords etc. is the 
published Language Reference Guide documentation available at e. g. 
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/docs-pdf/ref.pdf

Also the language is (slowly) evolving through all the Delphi 
innovations, for-in loop notation, generics etc.
