And your mother wears combat boots!

Certainly I agree that forward reference is needed to resolve pointer
declarations.  And I agree that PIM-2.[1..3] would allow forward
reference to procedure declarations, although discussion here has not
revealed a method for one-pass compilation of such - forward declaration
being the only technique discussed so far.

What I refer to is that PIM-2[1..3] would seem to allow

  PROCEDURE A ();
  BEGIN
    x := 42
    END A;
  VAR x : CARDINAL;
