Message-ID: <199604051600.SAA07609@email.enst.fr> (raw)

Recently, I needed a function that, given a month, would return the last day
of the month. Since I like things that look nice in named notation, I
(inadvertantly) wrote the  spec  as:

function Last_Day (Of : Months) return Date;

GNAT appropriately complained that "Of is  a reserved word that cannot be used
as an identifier". So the next thing that sprung to my mind was:

function Last_Day (In : Months) return Date;

Nooooooo ! Think of something else...

function Last_Day (For : Months) return Date;

Arghhhhhhh.... I ended up with:

function Last_Day (Of_Month : Months) return Date;

:-)
