Which brings me to the subject of defaults.  In PascalP, after
much discussion with myself, I concluded that the proper default
was pure standard syntax, with access to extension standard
procedures.  Such source, if compiled elsewhere, could always be
satisfied by providing the missing procedures/functions.  If any
extended syntax was desired it was necessary to specifically
enable them.

Maybe the appropriate default for GPC is --extended-pascal.  Then
either compile time options or pseudo-comments could further
refine it.  The user could always select a --gpc-pascal option
(which has no standard).
