Depends on point of view. In Ada, I have more freedom in that I can
specify more restrictions <g>...
More generally speaking, just because there is more freedom for
programmers to use a routine, this automatically means the author of
the routine is forced to be less restrictive about his parameters.
Of course, this is not a problem in Eiffel - the universally accepted
rule is "wherever a class is named, a descendant will do" (with some
notable exceptions, but these are intended for special cases and not
for normal use).
Still, I don't have a good Eiffel variant of the
corresponding_parts_equal routine earlier in this thread. Any takers?
