Just a reminder that the ARG does not have the last word on interpreting the
Standard. ARG decisions are subject to review at higher approval levels and
are not definitive until approved by ISO WG9 (responsible for the ISO Ada
Standard) and the AJPO (responsible for the ANSI standard). Although I would
not expect the decision on functions returning tasks to be reversed after
further review, ARG decisions have in the past been reversed in response to
objections.
