Result parameter for Create, Append, Open, Close

Since exception handling is not yet supported, we'd like a mean to handle case where the above file operations fail.
Example for Create:

  --  If the operation fails, one of the Name_Error, Use_Error, Status_Error exceptions is raised.

  procedure Create (File : in out File_Type; Name : String);
  procedure Create (File : in out File_Type; Name : VString);

  --  Variants of Create, Append, Open, Close with a "Result" parameter.
  --  If the operation fails, Result is set to the value corresponding to the exception.

  type File_Operation_Result is (Success, Erroneous_Name, Erroneous_Use, Erroneous_Status);

  procedure Create (File : in out File_Type; Name : String; Result: out File_Operation_Result);
  procedure Create (File : in out File_Type; Name : VString; Result: out File_Operation_Result);

Shell_Execute variant without result

2020-11-27T20:40:07.336000Z

Often, the result value of Shell_Execute is not useful, so an idea is to turn Shell_Execute into the following procedures. In HAC_Pack's specification:

  procedure Shell_Execute (Command : String; Result : out Integer);
  procedure Shell_Execute (Command : VString; Result : out Integer);

  --  In this version, the result value is discarded:
  procedure Shell_Execute (Command : String);
  procedure Shell_Execute (Command : VString);

#1 Block - Declare begin end

2019-03-25T01:11:10.496000Z

There is definitely something wrong in the implementation of the block statement, see comments @ procedure Block_statement in HAC.Parser. Perhaps I should just stop the compilation on block statements, and revive this construct when I find a correct way of handling the stack. A hint in those comments points to the FOR statement which has an implicit DECLARE.

I have disabled the support for block statements (rev. 81).
Better that than having an erroneous compilation...
