I can see many non-abstract methods with class-wide controlling parameters/results, which I'm fine... I forgot telling that.
But then there is
   function Available (C : Abstract_Collection) return Natural is
      pragma Warnings (Off, C);
   begin
      return Natural'Last;
   end Available;
which I don't know what to think of. Is it special in any way ? Or could it have any content, and the body will be inherited the descendants ? I guess it's the second choice. I'll see in Ada distilled and the others ressources before coming back to OOP.
