hehe, i remember a story about some major programmer, who liked Pascal
syntax but had to write in C.
so he did
#define begin {
#define end }
and so on, and was programming in this weird mixture -- and people who had
to support his code also had to work with this nightmare.
i think it's not that uncommon for C programmers to alter syntax (in weird
and limited way, though)

The most annoying thing with pascal syntax is that you cant close
begin end like yo can do with { } at VS . Actually I would like that
feature with common lisp ides . It won't help as much as with pascal
because writing enormous functions with lisp is bad style but with
Delphi is quite common to see procedure 3 pages long.
