OK, I misunderstood

No, here it's you who misunderstands. Get is still present and returns
an accessor instead of an access type and thus makes accesses safe (no
way to deallocate the accessed object). And Get *is* primitive.
And with reference types and objects in Ada 2012, there is no more
need for explicit dereference:
Get (P).Data simply becomes Get (P), i.e. it is overloaded to mean
either the accessor (or reference) object or the implicit dereference.
