I've been refraining from making the following simple suggestion
primarily because I'm not completely familiar with the proposed
OO extensions for Ada9X and did not want to expose my ignorance
(it won't be the first time). But here goes anyway:
If 'tagged types' are identified as such because they are now
extensible and can have class-wide operations associated with them,
why not replace 'tagged' with 'extensible'? So what if it's harder to
spell. This seem more straightforward, enhances understanding
(would have mine anyway), removes the ugliness otherwise associated
with the term 'tagged'.
If this has been suggested before, sorry to waste everyone's time.
