I have some suggestions of change to freepascal syntax, just to debate

How can it reduce readability? You move variables closer to where they
are used, therefore reducing clutter in the main "var" section.
Limiting variable scope is definitely a good thing, I sure hope you're
not arguing against that. That's why almost all languages encourage it.

If you have a scoping problem in pascal, cut your code into smaller
procedures.
Which is what I have been saying all along...
