I agree - but not _only_ because of the weakness of Pascal.
The semantics of C is so irregular that I doubt the feasibility
of a converter from C to _any_ high-level language
(I didn't say 'any other' because I classify C as a medium-level language).

All right: any function appearing as a formal parameter of another function
or procedure is in effect a pointer to a function;
you didn't say it should be a first-class type (or variable). :-)
