That only worked hackingly, since procvars are for globals only. So you must
check yourself that they are local, and TV/Objects then calls them with some
hackery. And you can never pass local and global procs to the same procvar.

Though I don't like the anonymous in-line declaration any more than you do
probably, and if D2009 hadn't come along I would have been more in favour of
fixing this the ISO pascal way.
