I made a proposal for extension of Ada 83 which includes the following features:

> #3 Object-Dot-Feature syntax.  No Ada95esque subprograms which take class
> arguments (like C++ friend functions).

> #6 Construction and Finalization

> #8 Polymorphism as the rule.  Let the compiler figure out which routines are
> not overridden and use static calls where appropriate (a la Eiffel).

> #13 Ada-style tasks.  Using Object-as-task, like the proposed Eiffel
> extension "separate".  Ada's SELECT mechanism.
