They are called procedure variables but can also contain functions.

Out of curiosity, I've just tried creating a function named ⍳ (Unicode
character 2373, i.e. the APL iota function). FPC trunk complains
Fatal: illegal character '�' ($E2)
What is the rule here- functions must be entirely ANSI or functions must
start with ANSI?

2.6, eh? Awesome.
I'm using the SVN trunk, but it's not working for me for some reason. I'll
just wait for v2.6 then.

The same can be done with fpc (nested if needed) procedure variables and
it will be more readable (imo)?

Yes, the downside here is that the concept is very different from any syntax in

In the future, could Format respect the difference between '%x' and '%X'? It's
useful to use the former for lowercase hexadecimal.
please forgive the stoopid question but, is there any real difference? in hex,
f00 is the same as F00, isn't it??
Correct. But some systems expect hex input in lowercase, and some expect it
in uppercase. It would be nice if Format('%x', [s]) and Format('%X', [s])
allowed this kind of customization.
For now, AnsiLowerCase(Format('%X', [s]) is a workaround.
