This is improper advice, since the feature referenced above
is in annex J, which means that there is a preferred way of
doing things. Never recommend the use of Annex J features

use the Storage_Size pragma instead, since it is far more
flexible (allowing different instances of a task type to
have different sizes, something that is impossible with the
obsolete form).
