Several other languages do allow specifying an increment (nice list of for loop constructs with specified increment in various languages: https://www.rosettacode.org/wiki/Loops/For_with_a_specified_step). Modula-2 or Oberon-2 code snippets could perhaps be mistaken for Pascal through the mists of time.
