You completely ignored my first point, which in this case is the much
more significant one: Pascal does not support type inference.
FPC does not.
Delphi does:

begin
var MyDictionary := TDictionary<string, Integer>.Create;
for var I:=1 to 10 do ;
end.
Are you aware that Delphi limits this specifically to inline variable
declaration (quoting including the typo: "compiler can now in several
circumstances infer the type of a variable at ints line declaration
location")? One could argue to which extent are inline variable
declarations still Pascal... :/ (I have my opinion about this, but let's
save everybody from a flamewar about this topic.)
