... and record components, and package components. I don't think that this
convention helps us very much, because the language does not follow it in a
consistent manner. For instance, when I see the expression
Object.Nb_Items
I don't know (without context) if it is a call to a protected function or the
value of a record component.
So I don't think that reserving the <object>.<operation> notation to
synchronizing operations is really useful.
