Steve Tynor (tynor@pyr.UUCP) first said:
>>> 	with XYZ;

I said:
>>   use XYZ."="(a, b : XYZ_type), XYZ.Push(x : some_type) ...

Of course a matter of taste, but I think mentioning a name and getting 
all subprograms with that name is a very non-Ada way of approaching
things. In Ada a subprogram *is* identified by its name and its parameter
