Notwithstanding your date correction, we have not made any statements about a
"version 12" of Intel Fortran, including speculation on a release date. Any
speculation you do on that is yours alone.
Type extension is in version 11, which is available as an open beta and will
be released before the end of this year. Procedure pointers are also in
version 11, but type-bound procedures and polymorphism are not. Those last
two are under active development.
