Re: procedural variables
The Ada 9X Requirements document, dated December 1990,
includes a Study Topic and a Requirement dealing with
subprograms as variables/parameters. This indicates
that there is now general consensus that such a capability
should be in the upcoming revision of Ada.
As for why there were left out originally, yes
it was probably that generics provide partial support, and also
I think there were some concerns about safety.
For Ada 9X, we believe we will be able to provide both a safe and
flexible capability for subprograms as variables/parameters.
Stay tuned...
