I think this needs to be elaborated on.

All _primitive operations of a tagged type_ are _potentially_
"virtual" in Ada.  Each caller of such a primitive operation decides,
at the call site, whether the dispatching is static or dynamic.

In contrast, in (my recollection of) C++, all virtual methods dispatch
dynamically from all call sites: the decision is not made at the point
of call but at the point of definition of the method.
