on the other hand, what stops the OP from using 'with'? (multiple levels/variables?)
"with" contaminates the name space. Locally scoped variables don't.
and you won't die from using another stack variable scoped at the beginning of the method.
True. If the subroutine is long enough that an additional declaration block seems necessary, it's probably too long already.
just to say that I'm not too fond of that c-ism in a pascal language (although I've used it plenty in c++, java, C#, php, ... over the years).
Just because C has it doesn't mean it is a C-ism. Local declaration blocks are definitely not an invention of C. IIRC, C89/90 didn't even had it yet.
