perfect constructions - Future Pluperfect Tense


I was reading this question Future pluperfect and was really interested in how real is the Future Pluperfect tense.

The Future Pluperfect: Double Tenses in American English Auxiliaries


This is from "The Future Pluperfect: Double Tenses in American English Auxiliaries" by Carole E. Chaski. American Speech. Vol. 70, No. 1 (Spring, 1995), pp. 3-20
