  package P is

    type T is tagged private;
    <ops>
  end P;


  with P;  use P;
  procedure Do_Something is

    O : T;
  begin


T is a tagged type.  O is a tagged object.  What's the problem?

The theory of evolution is quite rightly called the greatest unifying
theory in biology.  The diversity of organisms, similarities and
differences between kinds of organisms, patterns of distribution and
behavior, adaptation and interaction, all this was merely a bewildering
chaos of facts until given meaning by the evolutionary theory.
