Just one more point. The dispatching facilities is usefull when you need
to handle *differents objects* type with the same binary. Here we are
talking
about GNAT runtime routines for one specific paltform. The dispatching
model will:

   - always call the same code anyway
   - makes GNAT slower
   - makes GNAT executable (the compiler executable) bigger

So I do not see why this could apply there...

Pascal.
