Well, no, but this might be due to personal tastes. At least, I don't 
think it's better then some other alternatives. For example, in C99 you 
can do:

static struct option_s foo_option = {
     .name = "foo",
     .type = O_STRING,
     .def_value = "default"
};

At least to me, this looks even better than the Pascal's syntax.
