I'd strongly recommend avoiding this particular kind of shorthand.
Since Set_Col(1) will actually compile in Ada due to overloading, but
won't do what you want, it could very easily be confusing.  If you
want shorthand, try an ellipsis [e.g. Set_Col(..., 1);] because at
least that couldn't be confused with something you could actually
write in your program.
