Oh, yeah, that's right---the return-by-reference thing. I forgot
about that because they were really more like functions that return an
access to some existing object, rather than functions returning an
object. You couldn't create a new limited object and return it.
Anyway, that doesn't really affect my point: the compiler's
implementation of functions returning limited types is pretty much all
new for Ada 2005, and this appears to be a case that slipped through
the cracks in GNAT.
