We are used to PROCEDURE TYPEs. They are just nameless procedure
signatures, like: TYPE P = PROCEDURE (VAR t: T; i: INTEGER);
A formal parameter of this type can be replaced by procedure names like
"P1",
where "P1" is: PROCEDURE P1 (VAR t: T; i: INTEGER); BEGIN ... END P1;

What I wonder is about METHOD TYPEs, like:
TYPE M = PROCEDURE (VAR t: T) (i: INTEGER);
A formal parameter of this (hypothetic) TYPE could be replaced by "M1",
where "M1" is a method of class "T", or of an extension of T :
PROCEDURE (VAR t: T) M1 (i: INTEGER), NEW; BEGIN ... END M1;

... It would be so nice in our project about Programming with Threads in
Component Pascal. Is there some suitable alternative for a "Method
TYPE"?.
