This problem is somewhat simpler than the the implementation of
unrestricted procedures or functions passed as parameters and their
returns, which also exist in Pascal, and it can use a similar
solution. See for instance:


          Parameter Passing Mechanisms and Run Time Data Structures
          Software -- Practice and Experience 11,7 (757-765), 1981
