What do you think about this? Extracted form here : http://blog.marcocantu.com/blog/2018-october-inline-variables-delphi.html#FeedBack

Old style (keep) :

procedure Test;
var
  I: Integer;
begin
  I := 22;
  ShowMessage (I.ToString);
end;

New style (new feature) :

procedure Test;
begin
  var I, J: Integer;
  I := 22;
  j := I + 20;
  ShowMessage (J.ToString);
end;

procedure Test; // declaration and initialization in a single statement
begin
  var I: Integer := 22;
  ShowMessage (I.ToString);
end;

procedure Test1; // multiple inline declarations (symbols declared when used)
begin
  var I: Integer := 22;
  var J: Integer := 22 + I;
  var K: Integer := I + J;
  ShowMessage (K.ToString);
end;

procedure Test2; // scope limited to local block
begin
  var I: Integer := 22;
  if I > 10 then
  begin
    var J: Integer := 3;
    ShowMessage (J.ToString);
  end
  else
  begin
    var K: Integer := 3;
    ShowMessage (J.ToString); // COMPILER ERROR: "Undeclared identifier: J"
  end;
  // J and K not accessible here
end;

I look at this code and I see a great feature. Can you study it?

Thanks!
