And what is wrong with that? a class serves as abstraction and polymorphism.
it is simpler really.
Ada OO mechanism is not simple and I find it confusing. a class is the
most basic concept in OO, and Ada does not have it. No wonder all heavely
used OO languages today use the class concept (C++, Java) even Simula
the original OO language used a class to represent objects with. All except
Ada does it different.
