Well, not just for that one feature. Just remember that if you like
Pascal you'd likely feel very much at home with Ada. Ada is kind of like
"Pascal++" in that the syntax is very much like Pascal's, but it cures
certain ills that existed there and then added a *lot* more stuff to
make the language much more powerful.
