He probably meant UCSD Pascal, as I see this is a very interesting system, mentioned also in the lazarus wiki ( http://wiki.freepascal.org/UCSD_Pascal ). I downloaded the sources of the system,  but I could not find the examples of similar syntax inside many with statements... Maybe there are other sources.

The internet is a never forgiving source of information ^^

Though "=" seems a little bit like a misuse of that operator... ":=" 
might be a more pascalish solution.

Thank you for looking.
