Again, I'd point to the package Standard in the LRM (http://www.ada-auth.org/~acats/arm-html/RM-A-1.html ), which adopted that rule, but didn't seem to have any trouble with specifying that an implementation for "=" exists as well using comments. > Or we can draw a line in the private part and say "everything above > this line is defined by the standard". That would be simple. That would probably work too. We could get theoreticaly into a situation where there is no single line, due to freezing issues. But we don't have such a situation right now, and I can't think of any good examples that would cause it.
