There are two different kinds of comments being removed here. There are comments relating to GNU Pascal, which has long been a dead project, so removing those seems reasonable. But there are also comments / documentation references referring to Pascal as a language that has some feature, rather than to the GNU Pascal implementation, and it's much less clear those should be removed. And where you change "As in Algol and Pascal, lexical scoping of functions.", which is one of the latter kind, I'd think Algol is likely to be more obscure than Pascal to readers of the manual, so if it changes at all it should probably be to refer to more modern examples of languages with nested functions that form closures. -- Joseph S.
