What is the difference between that and ...

case i of
   1 : ;
else
end;

???  Is this an alternate syntax to allow some other flavor of pascal to use FPC?  I admit I haven't used too many others (borland, some crappy one for the commodore 64, porting a few VAX programs) but I have never seen OTHERWISE before.
