Pascal has several digraphs:
(* = {
*) = }
(. = [
.) = ]


I must say, that I have not yet known about the alternatives for the 
squared brackets. O.o


One never stops learning...

(and they are even documented :D )

would it on the future be possible? Declaring variables after the begin?

I'm pretty sure that this abomination will be vetoed.

Nice!
For me, If I can say is most interested:

1. try ... except ... finally ... end;
2. C style IIF operator: l ? true : false;
3. C style comments: /* ... */ (I have never understood why in Pascal 
was used (* ... *) )

Because they are much more clear and easy to understand (both for
compiler and for reader). C comments are very-very-very ugly. For
example, you can write things like: a = b/*c; which fails if c is
pointer to something.

You probably have to formulate that the other way around. Pascal is older.
