  enum day {sun, mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat};

is equivalent to

  day = (sun, mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat)

in Pascal, as far as I can recall.

I presume you mean something like:

procedure wrapper;
  procedure inside;
  begin
    writeln('Hello from the inside.');
  end;
begin
  writeln('Hello world.');
end;


C doesn't support silly stuff like this.  I'm not sure if it's standard
Pascal either. (?)
