Well, there's qualification:
Vertex( Z =3D> Integer'(1), X =3D> Integer'(1), Y =3D> Integer'(1) );

and
There's using typed-constants:
Declare
 One : Constant Integer:=3D 1;
Begin
 Vertex( X =3D> One, Y =3D> One, Z =3D> One );
End;

Is the case of using only literals the most common case? If not, how
common is it?
