Re: [PATCH] Add Pascal/Delphi (.pas file) funcname pattern.

The Ruby funcname pattern patch inspired me.  Although unlike him, I didn't
check with anyone else for confirmation.  How many Pascal programmers can
there possibly be? :)

+	{ "pas", "\\(^\\(procedure\\|function\\|constructor\\|"
+			"destructor\\|interface\\|implementation\\|"
+			"type|initialization|finalization\\).*$\\)"
+			"\\|\\(^.*=[ \t]*\\(class\\|record\\).*$\\)" },

Is Delphi the only surviving Pascal?  Why is the name "pas", not "pascal"
or even "delphi-pascal"?

The keys are not file extensions ("ruby" example did the right thing by
not saying "rb").

No, but all surviving Pascals pretty much support the same syntax, so
when I say Pascal/Delphi, I mean either one.  And Delphi does use the
.pas extension.

 not saying "rb").

Will fix.
