I recently received a copy of the "Ada 9X Project Report dated
February 1993.  On the top of page 48 in this report there is a
statement about overloading assignment, specifically,

	".., in the case of non-limited control types, assignment
	can be redefined by the user."

I curious about the form of the overload.  Is it soomething like

procedure ":=" (Left : in out Some_Type ; Right : in   Some_Type) ?

or have I misread this statement?
