It's just a matter of readability, e.g. having a variable declared in
two blocks with the same name can cause you a lot of headache:
procedure p;
begin
...
begin
var i : integer;
...
...
...
i:=12341234;
...
...
...
...
end;
...
...
...
begin
var i : integer;
...
writeln(i); <--- this i is not the same as above so i does not
contain 12341234 but it contains probably some garbage.
end;
