Hey all.  I've got a question about array literals.
I looked through the RM (checked out the index and
hopped to the keywords that looked promising) but
I couldn't find the answer to this question.

Ok for my question.  Is it valid on all Ada
implementations to provide array literals to 
functions and the like?  I know that Gnat let
me do it but I'd just like to make sure this
is guaranteed to work regardless of implementation.

For example:

type Int_Array is array(Integer range <>) of Integer;

procedure Print_Int_Array ( I_List : Int_Array ) is
begin
	for I in I_List'Range loop
		Put_Line( Integer'Image ( I_List(I) ) );
	end loop;
end Print_Int_Array;


Now when we call it, is it standardly acceptable to
call it as such:

	Print_Int_Array ( (1, 2, 3, 4) );

Where (1, 2, 3, 4) is an array literal?  I know it
works in GNAT3.05 but I want to make sure this isn't
a fluke and that I can depend on this behavior
regardless of which implementation I use.

So this would mean that array literals are in fact
flexible enough to be used anywhere an array can
be used eh?  

Thanks in advance.
