Hugh? I see the argument that another front-end will exercise more of the back-end, since
chances are that it will trigger code paths in it which other languages don't use.
However I can hardly see any Pascal language feature/construct, which wouldn't be already
covered by the C++ or Java ABI.
Actually Pascal excises non-local gotos along with more than that and nested
functions (which is used a lot in Ada yes but another language will catch bugs
which can be found easier and the Ada testsuite is not really complete with
a lot of bugs fixed lately).
See I replied, but I wanted to put you straight on a technical detail which
you keep on forgetting.
