 Not in the original standard (from N. Wirth, may you pronounce him by
 value or by reference or by whatever... ;-), so this must have been an
 extension from your compiler's manufacturer. 
I believe Ken Bowles' team at UCSD first added that extension to their 
Pascal, which in turn begat Lisa Clascal and MPW Object Pascal.

Which brings me to a good question: does anyone have any documentation
for Lisa Clascal? I thought it might be in the two-volume loose-leaf
Inside Macintosh, but it appears not.
