The parser accepts

so, why shouldn't it accept
type CGDisplayErr = CGError;
Consider:

type rt = record CGError : integer end;
var CGError : rt;
    i : integer;
    rv : rt;

then the compiler accepts:

    rv := CGError;
    i := CGError.CGError;

but rejects:

   i := CGError;

Imagine now that `CGError' variable is defined in `CGError' unit. What
does it mean then:

   i := CGError.CGError;

Is it record `CGError' form unit `CGError' or is it field `CGError' 
from the `CGError' record?

By the way, does Apple Pascal support qualified identifiers?
