Hi *,

is there a way to change a default value upon type derivation?

type PT is tagged record
   V : Float := 1.0;
end record;

type CT is new PT with null record;

Is there a way to use another default value for V in CT? I already
tried with controlled types using different Initialize procedures, but
that's quite ugly.

Thanks a lot in advance!
