good point.
 
since we are making changes, can I have this change also: how about adding
"()" to function and procedure calls, even though there are no parameters
being passed?

I find it more clear to see

pkg.foo();

instead of

pkg.foo;

where foo is a procedure or function that takes no args.

becuase if I see () next to the name, I know the name is a function or
procedure, instead of just a variable.

please please, can we make this change in Ada 200X ?

Bill.
