Yeah, but it takes a human to debug such issues. The compiler might have
no problem understanding complex scopes, but the same could not always
be said for programmers.

My code was affected by this change too, but all-in-all, I think it was
a good move. Promote the idea of "easier to read and understand" code -
the original goals of Pascal.
