One of a host of little improvements that make Ada 95 worth the
upgrade, reguardless of wheather you ever use a tagged type or not.
Another good example from the original post is that float'image wasn't
legal either, hence the need to use a Float_IO package. A third good
example from that post is that by default there was no pre-instatiated
version of Float_IO (Ada.Float_Text_IO), hence the need to manually
instantiate Text_IO.Float_IO with Float.
