I have an other question to the Ada95 design: Why does Ada not support
simple PROCEDURE-Types (like C or Modula). When writing GUI
applications, one needs always to pass callback routines. They are in
fact passed as procedure variables. In Ada one have to pass adresses
instead. While Ada has task type, I did not found any procedure type. Is
there really none (and if, why not) or am I blind ?
