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.
