When I said that my sample code was legal in Ada 83, I thought I saw some loose wording in the LRM that would allow it, al- though it appeared that the intent was to discourage it, at the least. Now, however, it seems to be illegal in Ada 83 as well, by 3.9(7). When I said that it worked in several compilers, I know of at least three. When I said that a healthy body of code exists using the "feature", that body includes a large number of packages supplied by an Ada compiler vendor!
