But this kind of procedural parameter doesn't seem to be included in the rule for
<parameter-declaration>. it is allowed in macpas and iso modes.
ISO-7185 Pascal has
formal-parameter-list = "(" formal-parameter-section { ";" formal-parameter-section } ")" .
formal-parameter-section = value-parameter-specification | variable-parameter-specification |
procedural-parameter-specification | functional-parameter-specification |
conformant-array-parameter-specification .
functional-parameter-specification = function-heading .
procedural-parameter-specification = procedure-heading .
