  as there is

  var
    a=1
    b=2
  #make for proc template macros etc
  proc
    proc1:
      ...
    proc2:
      ...

  You can do something similar using a macro - this is a valid syntax.

  
  pr:
      a(a: int): str = 12
  Run

  But I doubt it would make any sense as most procedures are longer than one-two line, and won't benefit from being grouped in a single section.

  It will benefit because after that we can get various sections like var section, let section, import section, proc section, etc which makes code very nice looking and also straight looking

  This would also require additing iterator section, macro section, func, template, converter, in order to keep the language consistency, and most of it does not make any sense, because it can be done using macro, and it would look as good as any built-in construct.
