As far as I am concerned, there will be no "two ways" of doing things. It 
will only be confusing and makes the language needlessly baroque. Both 
compilers use the UCSD Pascal unit system, which, as of today is still one 
of the best modular programming systems. That is the base to start from.

But it does show such features are irrelevant to the project.
