But there seems to be a reason that these guys didn't enhance Pascal but 
created completely new languages.

I don't think that it is wise to use a Pascal compiler to compile code 
from another language, even if it is very similar to Pascal in some 
respects (and if it's even possible). I believe that there are 
fundamental differences, otherwise it would not be a different language.

And the existing {$MODE..} modifications are already too much. They were 
added to avoid code modifications to older programs but they never help 
me to avoid them yet. In the end, the code had to be adapted anyway.

I would prefer not to do even more of these modifications so that noone 
can read any code snipped anymore because he does not know which 
language is meant.
