Pascal allows this. In the around 500,000 lines of pascal
I have written, I think I used this (private routine) once
or twice. I can't see that it simplifies things in any way.
Perhaps you should re-examine the structure of your code.
There's usually a better way that is not at first obvious.
I generally try to keep all routines to < 50 lines of code
(2 screens worth). That includes the "main". Whenever I
exceed those limits, I know I am writing poor, hacked, and
difficult to maintain code.
So no, I would prefer for Rob to work on better
namespacing, which is a more universal solution to this,
and other problems.
