If you look at the comment just above the procedure, you‘ll find a hint what the IF meant to do.
(* The visibility of the Oberon pointer is ignored. *)
Formerly, the procedure checked the visibility.
You may delete the IF TRUE and corresponding ELSE. A clever compiler will do that for you, I mean he treats the source as if the IF TRUE was not there...
