# In my "learning session" today I noticed that a lot of the current
# Ada procedures and functions (dare I call them methods?) have those
# pesky '_'s in them.  Any plans in Ada200x for case sensitivity?
# Maybe a command line flag if you want to have case sensitivity.
# 
# The syntax could be less finger stretchy with all the '_'s and
# we could have toUnboundedString instead of to_unbounded_string.
# You could have x: Integer; and X: Integer;!!
# What a bonus right?!  Just a thought.

You can always define
   subtype UnboundedString is Unbounded_String;
   function ToUnboundedString (Source : in String) 
     return UnboundedString renames To_Unbounded_String;
NB: no need of case-sensitivity!
For adding case sensitivity see other proposals for comments
in this newsgroup.
Apparently there is some resistence to add all these "retro"
features into Ada.
I'm afraid you have to invent a new "Retro" language with /*...*/
comments, #define's, #include's, case-sensitivity, implicit
declarations, flat visibility, plus a punched-card reader.
