Hello, everybody! I am currently fixing the bug with `otherwise' in `case' statements. While the ISO 10206 Extended Pascal standard wants case foo of (* 1 *) bar: writeln ( 'foobar!' ); otherwise write ( 'The answer is: ' ); writeln ( answer ); end (* case *); GPC implemented case foo of (* 2 *) bar: writeln ( 'foobar!' ); otherwise: begin write ( 'The answer is: ' ); writeln ( answer ); end (* otherwise *); end (* case *); which is simply wrong. Okay - when I fix it, does anybody want to keep an optional colon after `otherwise'? Or after `else' in the Borland syntax? (I would prefer if *not*.) I also found `default' and `others' as synonyms for `otherwise' which I would like to remove. May I? Or are they needed for compatibility with some Pascal compiler I am not aware of? If so, what is the syntax? Example 1 or 2 above? While I am on it, what about removing `&' as an address operator and to keep only the BP-compatible `@'? Please post your opinions here.
