That's a bit bizarre, there is no such thing as using Ada 83
syntax in this context, since all Ada 83 syntax is included
in Ada 95. I really have NO idea what you are talking about!

The notion that Ada means Ada 95 is not an invention of the
list, it is the formal position of ISO. Once a new standard
comes out, the name refers ONLY to the current standard!
