The "same type" phrase has been a bit puzzling because it is

but I'm not suggesting there is more that needs to be said about
"equivalent type" versus "same type" in Pascal. :)

Yes. I guess any logical structure must rest on some
basic terms that are taken not to need explanation,
and "same type" seems to fall into that category in ISO7185.

I've just realized that it is almost exactly 30 years since
we convened at the London HQ of the British Standards Institute
to begin the Pascal standardization process. Tempus fugit! 8-)
