No, inside declaration is not anonymous, the declared var has a name.

Look at this:

   with TObject.Create do begin
     WriteLn(ToString);
     Free;
   end;

That is anonymous, and it works in Object-Pascal.

On the other hand I am not sure if anonymous are a good idea, even if I 
like them while working in VB.NET.
But please: if they are coming, don't implement them in the bad way of 
Delphi.
