Wille@ifi.ethz.ch might note that the assignment P := C appears within
the scope of the procedure C. The question was, should this be allowed.
A
Apparently Dr. Wirth decided it should not, I haven't seen my copy of the
third edition for some time now.
Forcing any assignment statement to assign a procedure which was defined
at level 0 would certainly remedy
this problem.
Let's try to keep this conversation above the level of "Do you really think
that question makes any sense?" A much more appropriate reply might be
something like, "The compiler should restrict such assignments to level
0 procedures."
