List-Id: <comp.lang.ada>

a) The least possible additions to the language (overcomplication is a threat!)
b) Extend the Ada.* libraries (much of the strength of a language is in the available components, so it is better if they are among standard, portable, compatible Ada.* stuff)

Still, I have a very simple wish for a) in my list:
* Enum'Length

For b) I see good ideas in other posts, like indefinite-precision integers or floats.
On my list, something very simple so far:
* Ada.Directories.Set_Modification_Time
* Ada.Directories.Read_Only
* Ada.Directories.Set_Read_Only
