>BTW: as a point of Ada style, do NOT name scalar types as a plural noun.
Some of us, OTOH, think plurals are good as type names. e.g.
Foreground, Background, Border : Colors;
And from the 1989 'Ada Quality and Style': "Consider using a plural
form as a type name." and "Using categories or plural nouns or noun
phrases as type names helps to emphasize their generic nature."
