I still like the idea Jean Ichibiah and I had which was to
provide one additional unary operator in Ada 95 which would
have no predefined declaration, but would be intended to be
used precisely for this purpose.

(as a secondary part of the proposal, we suggested the currency
conversion symbol, sometimes called pillow, as this symbol).

But alas, no success in pushing this idea, so the unary "+" it
is indeed!
