I wanted to imitate the printf-function of c in Pascal.

void printf (char *format, ...)

That was one of the advantages of Pascal against Modula-2. There was no
flexible WRITE/WRITELN-Procedure in M2.

VAR a: INTEGER; b: CHAR; c: STRING;

Modula-2:

IO.WrStr ('Hello');
IO.WrInt (a);
IO.WrStr (b);
IO.WrStr (c);

Pascal:

WRITELN ('Hello', a, b, c);
