List-Id: I heard a vailed reference the other day of some way of manipulating address attributes in some way such that you could take the address of a function or procedure, store it, and latter execute (vector off to) it. I havn't been able to figure out how this could be done in Ada. I realize that it isn't a normal thing to do in the Ada programming philosophy and could probably turn out non-protable, but it could be usefull and the answer could be interesting.
