I suggest you create an external preprocessor, and limit yourself to that.
I don't consider your construct to be Pascal, so I will fight inclusion of it
in the compiler, not even under some {$Mode} construct.
Well all I ask is you wait til I have written it then give it a chance.
If you still feel bad about it then we can discuss what to do then. If
it turns out that you all insist on begin..end being mandatory then i
will respect your wishes and no feelings will be hurt. I believe it will
help Pascal and breathe new life into it especially as its a dying
language. I also note there is no such thing as "Pascal" as such even
Delphi has significant syntax differences with earlier pascal variants
so I hope that's taken into account.
The compiler is GPL, so you are free to change it, but that doesn't necessarily
mean your changes will make it back in the compiler main sources.
If not I can always maintain a branch that does. (though I would prefer
it if it is included of course)
jamie.
