That will only work if you don't need to distinguish "Increment" (++
analog) from "Increase(By)" (+= analog). When we had this discussion
before on comp.lang.ada, I think there was some criticism against
overloading "Inc" and "Dec":
procedure T'Inc (X : in out T'Base); -- ++ analog
procedure T'Dec (X : in out T'Base); -- -- analog
procedure T'Inc (X : in out T'Base; By : in T'Base); -- += analog
procedure T'Dec (X : in out T'Base; By : in T'Base); -- -= analog
Hence my differentiating Increment vs. Increase, Decrement vs. Decrease.

But not always: T'Ceiling (vs. T'Ceil), T'Rounding (vs. T'Rnd), etc.

Oh? When I've taught Ada83 in the past, I was always somewhat
embarrassed by the fact that there just is no polite pronunciation for
'Succ. :-)
