I do my Pascal development using GVim and tag files generated with
Exuberant Ctags.  I am underwhelmed by the support for Pascal as a
language relative to ones like the C languages that are tied to the
history of the Vi editor family.

Exuberant Ctags will generate a tag file for classic Pascal code, but
only stand-alone functions and procedures are supported.  There is no
support for generating tags for variables of any kind.  Also, there is
not support for object oriented Pascal.  This is what I mean by
stand-alone functions and procedures.  Any use of dot notation with
functions or procedures is ignored.  Better support for prioritizing
IMPLEMENTATION versus INTERFACE sections would also be a plus.

Anyone know of any better options for navigating Pascal source code from
a classic or general purpose programmer's text editor?  Ideal would be a
better way of generating tag files.  I don't suppose anyone has
considered getting Cscope to work with Pascal source code?
