No they do not, because there is no way in Pascal to have to function
interfaces pointing at the same implementation.

You suggest using function pointers which is not an option in a library with
flat function calls.

This is an option in "CPUID..." and "Patching..."

In "conditional compilation" you can easily have the same function compiled
as implementation in more targets.

For your logic to apply we must abandon the current library design regarding
"Direct calling...".
