I have a tagged record that is declared private, along with a
constructor function which returns an instance.  I do this to enforce
the assignment of several required fields in the record, so if you know
how to do this another way, please let me know!

But Ada is telling me I have to override this function in the child.
This doesn't make a lot of sense.  How can I deal with this?  I'm not
currently using Ada 2005.
