I'm doing some work in freepascal and using Vim.  Pascal syntax and indent 
files are bundled with Vim, but they don't seem that great.  I may try to make 
some improvements myself, but I first thought I'd check whether anyone out 
there has tweaks to existing files or their own pascal filetype files that are 
better than what's bundled.  I can't seem to find much by googling.

As far as dislikes, or things I would change, here's start of a short list:

I couldn't figure out what exactly the problems were with indenting, just knew 
it always got in my way, so I disabled the pascal indent expr and went with 
smartindent.

The pascal syntax file doesn't seem to recognize 'begin' and 'end' keywords as 
braces, so no automatic switching between them.  Also, I would like ability to 
highlight the assignment operator (':=') with a different color from the 
equality comparison ('=').

Beyond that I can imagine some little functions that help automate variable 
declarations, which are a little bit of a pain in Pascal because they all come 
in the 'var' block before any code.

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Herb Sitz
