But entries and procedures are in fact very different beasts. A procedure is reentrant and has exactly one body. An entry is not reentrant and cannot be called recursively; it has no body, rather it may have as many accept statements as you like or feel necessary (it may even have none - what the heck!). So different keywords for them are quite reasonable. Thinking about this: Ultimatey, we could perhaps do with just one reserved word called keyword. Depending on the place where is stands makes it clear what it means: keyword I keyword 1..10 keyword X(I) := I + 1; Keyword; Hm, perhaps a bit extreme :-)
