I do think "declare" is useful, if you name the declare block. This gives you
an easy way to find the end of the scope, even in the presence of nested scopes.
Of course, an alternative would be to have the ability to name all constructs that
would introduce a scope. Something like?
a_scope: if foo > bar then
a: integer := 7;
foo := foo * a;
else a_scope
b: integer := 9;
bar := bar * b;
end if a_scope;
You could do this with comments, of course, but then you lose the compiler
checking...
