I've been developing software professionally since 1975, and using Ada
since 1984, and I only recently encountered this "old idiom" by reading
about it here. Perhaps it is familiar only to those involved in the
language design and implementation. I know I never encountered it in 14
years of reading the ARM, Ada texts, and Ada-related articles.
