Enforce position of module level VAR section? about oberon-lang

[tenko]

Yes, good idea.
Create a new issue and then just edit the top message as a task list.

The Oberon syntax enforces a strict order on the declarations: CONST, TYPE, VAR, and PROCEDURE. Therefore, it is correct that the variables are not declared (as the parser skips the VAR section). Is the request to have a better error message?

[tenko]

Yes. I was thinking about the error message.
Not terrible important.

Closing this as not important

Maybe it would be good to open a compound issue with ideas of (a) how the error reporting of the parser could be improved and (b) what rules could be relaxed to make programming on Oberon more fun (yes, I'm thing of semicolons 😎).
