 What you want can be done in any language and depending on what you are tr=

 I'm sure some of us can offer advice for your project.

Thank you, but mine is a curiosity.  I am new to Ada and I am trying to und=
erstand how to approach problems the Ada way.   My above hypothetical solut=
ion mirrors what I would have done in C++, by following the RAII (Resource =
Acquisition Is Initialization) idiom.  It seems to me that Ada offers a sim=
ilar idiom with its controlled types.
