Very true. There is no substitute for a good textbook. What I had in
mind was not for purposes of teaching/learning Ada, but more of adding
some "user friendly" information to the ARM that doesn't intrude on its
original purpose.

I know from my own experience that I've gone into the ARM looking for an
understanding of a particular feature and have maybe come back with an
incomplete understanding of what I was really supposed to do with it. An
example or two or some text that explained what the designers intended
the usage to be would certainly have helped.
