There should never have been such thing. Subprograms should have been an
in-parameter (90% of cases) or else a named access type (10% of cases).

Others already said that anonymous access was an workaround. There is the
list of issues it deals with:

1. lack of in-out parameters of functions
2. missing downward closures (subprograms as in-parameters)
3. unwillingness to implement full multiple inheritance (so mix-ins)
4. broken object construction (so the Rosen's trick to re-dispatch and also
for #2)
5. non-tagged task and PO types (so, aggregation + an access to the
container as a discriminant)
