or properly definable. Often you see feature suggestions that
start off as pretty half baked misunderstandings of the
fundamental semantics of Ada. Even when this is not the case,
people have not *begun* to work out the implications of the
proposal. The subject of this thread is actually a good
example. Everyone can see what this means in the trivial
case presented in the first message of the thread.
But if you even *vaguely* attempt an orthogonal description
you run into all sorts of troubles.
