Will it still be English when this, in order to re-use a word already reserved by Ada, uses the word "when" in place of the new "some"? (for when X in domain | P (X)) "When" is not the same as the mathematically correct (MC?) wording. Perhaps unusual. But if programming in Ada is not the same as writing mathematics, maybe "when" just emphasizes the presence of a computing apparatus as an added benefit?
