How do you describe tagged types in Ada 83 terms?

In order to move forward you need a consistent theory behind the language.
RM is not the place where you could do that work. RM is about engineering,
not science. You don't describe thermodynamic processes in terms of
Volkswagen Owner's Manual. Thermodynamics apply both to VW and GM,
regardless whatever manuals.

If the car does not work, but the manual says it should, trust the car.
