Turbo Pascal already has that feature <sneer :)>  It deals with the one and
only reason I've found to use a program header (and it works with unit headers
too!)

program Global;

var a : Integer;

procedure blort;
var a : Integer;
begin
  a := 1;    (* set LOCAL A=1 *)
  Global.a := 1;  (* set GLOBAL A=1*)
end;
