y := case Other of
                bla : 'hello';
                foo : 'bye';
                baz : 'adius';
              end;
    What do you gain with this?
    Doesn't look much different to
    case Other of
     bla : y := 'hello';
     foo : y := 'bye';
     baz : y := 'adius';
     end;
Shorter write imho.

Is that realy a reason for adding yet another extension to Pascal? This is C thinking. I don't care about a word more or less to write if only the *reading* of source code is easy (and the logic of the language is clear). But each variant in writing makes it harder to understand a source code (especially for newbies to whom the
learning curve gets steeper and steeper with each of such 'extensions').
