I am looking in detail at the syntax diagrams in the Freepascal
Language Reference (version 3.2.0)
Section 13.2.2 discusses the case-statement. Translated to EBNF (WSN)
the syntax is
case-statement = "CASE" expression "OF" case { ";" case } [ else-part
] [ ";" ] .
case = constant [ ".." constant ] { "," constant [ ".." constant ] }
":" statement .
else-part = [ "ELSE" | "OTHERWISE" ] statementlist .
If this is correct (and the compiler really allows it) then a
semicolon between <case> and <else-part> is not required.
It is not required.
In addition to what I wrote, I believe the <case-statement> diagram is also incorrect in that it
doesn't allow an optional semicolon between <case> and <else-part>.
