Such constructs are subject to frequent misinterpretation :-( I assume that you want to have C semantics, where the variables are initialized at every invocation of the subroutine. Other people think that the variables are "static", retaining their values across calls (like writeable constants). In general I prefer an implementation of features that exist in other Pascal compilers, over an implementation of new and incompatible features, whose impact on the overall language (stability, type safety...) are unpredictable. Sometimes I dream of an compiler for both Pascal and C syntax, with simple switching between both languages. But I would not dare to suggest how those C parts should work, i.e. what features and bugs of which C compiler should be implemented, and how the C code should fit together with the Pascal code, with regards to type and operation safety.
