By having this feature you are forcing everyone to use it.
No, why would you think that? Nobody is forcing you to move your
variables into a block, just carry on as before if you don't like it.
Var sections for functions are optional, you can use global variables
for everything if you like. No different to this.
The point under discussion is readability of code.
So, if I need to read someone elses code and this person uses this feature heavily,
then I end up being confronted with it, the readability of his code for me
is reduced.
Pascal has always been lauded for being readable.
I would like to keep it that way.
Michael.
