I am not certain, but I think that the only extra feature level 1
ISO Pascal added was the conformant array, which provided a
general array passing mechanism for procedures and functions. I
think the standardisation committee decided that the first Pascal
standard would keep to the Jensen and Wirth version of the
language. There is a later Pascal standard, ISO 10206 I think,
that adds a lot of features such as separate compilation, string
handling and a proper string type, complex numbers and so forth.
The standard came out in about 1990. I suspect that that was
probably a bit late in the life of the language for it to have
much impact.
