Re: X : Real_Vector := Solve(A => A, X => B); -- Why X as argument name?

I would agree that calling the formal parameter "x" is
infelicitous. But it's been that way for a long time, so we live with
it.  The important thing is that the originators made the decision and
moved on.

I'm glad the topic came up.  I like to engage the people who think
this subject is interesting.  I'm going to reopen the topic of Ada
bindings to Lapack, and the subject of parameter names looms in that
discussion.  I'll put something up a couple days after Christmas.  

Ho Ho Ho.
