Hello,

   I am learning OOP with Ada 95.  Although I have only a bit of experience,
mostly with Perl 5, I find that the "->" operator is much more intuitive
than passing an object as a parameter to a subprogram.  Is it possible to
define "->" as the following:

	method( object ) = object->method()


   If so, how would I do that?


Thanks in advance,
--
