I should reread my mails before sending...forgot to mention something:
Just an idea: you could modify the file data/pascal.tags(it is
installed in $prefix/share/geany) and replace the lower case keywords
with the camel case variants or whatever you prefer. The problem is,
you have to keep this file over updates of Geany.
