There is only one solution that currently really will work with that
kind of code: use {$mode iso} at the top of the file to use the ISO
Pascal compatible mode.
In theory it should also be possible to use another mode plus
{$modeswitch nestedprocvars}, but that doesn't play nicely with the call
to A inside of B as the compiler seems to call the X4 parameter while it
shouldn't...
