'a_bin_num' doesn't imply it's a variable - 'a' is the "indefinate article"
and
can be used to indicate the type of something without specifying _which_
item you are talking about e.g.
My_Kettle : A_Kettle := (Make => Kenwood, Capacity_In_Litres => 1.5, --
etc);
Your_Kettle : A_Kettle := (Make => Bosch, Capacity_In_Litres => 2.0, --
etc);
etc.
