[fpc-pascal] Difference between initialization and begin in a unit

[Cox, Stuart TRAN:EX]

Could there be one slight difference in that an initialization section
is required if there's going to be a finalization section in the unit?
That is, there can't be a finalization section in the absence of an
initialization section?

AFAIK it is syntactic sugar. They are the same.
