It would have been nice if PROCEDURE declarations would reflect this, like
in functional languages. Say

CONST
  Sin =
     PROCEDURE (x: LONGREAL;): LONGREAL
       BEGIN
         ...
         RETURN y;
       END;

This would also be the key for anonymous functions or loops as higher
order functions. Just an idea, it's certainly simpler just to use a
functional language. :-)
