Please excuse, if I (RCL) messed up on the attribution

 I believe John G. Volan is the 0 and 2 '>'
and Robert Dewar is the single '>'

One trivial solution to the designation of a type as an access type, is to
use "_ac". This is a readable short abbreviation. At least, I have already
used it. This is another advantage of Ada syntax.  I do not know of an
equivalent two character abbreviation for pointer.
