Stéphane,
What would be the generalization of the dot construct/operator for which you yearn?

I'm speaking of method call.
If you have the following variable:
Item : Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Unbounded_String;
You have to use:
Append (Item, "something");
But it would be nice to just do:
Item.Append ("something");
There is an AI about that (can't remember the reference).
If I remember well, it was not accepted due to some problems this would create.
If you want to use the dot method call notation, you are force to use a tagged type.
And then, if you define other operations in another package (of course they are not overridable), then you can't use the dot method call notation.
Stephane
