Mats Weber says:

"Given this choice, IMO, it would have been best to continue forbidding the
overloading of "=" for non-tagged types, as in Ada 83. Was this ever
considered ?"

Reading through this thread, I tend to agree, this was probably a change
that we should have left alone.

Anyway, it isn't so serious, because an appropriate proper response if you
don't think this "feature" should have been added is to forbid its use.
