variable declaration

[Caleb Hattingh]

I fully agree.  As I stated in a message to alexander, it is quick and  
easy even to write a simple project-specific tool for checking that only  
allowed variable names exist in all the project files.

Compared to having to work with tons of effectively useless variable  
declarations forever (perhaps even only in other peoples code who decided  
to use the "option"), it is not much to ask (I work in pascal a lot - I  
know all about tons and tons of declarations).

thx
