Here again I would like to express my full support to the said above. I already mentioned in this thread that "Saturation is one of the fundamental things in physics, electronics, mechanical engineering, control systems operations and many other areas. If language could support such fundamental types it could be very fruitful in many areas and could add some more flexibility and safety that are already major features of Ada" I think people that have anything to do with control systems design would fully support that also. Saturation is fundamental nature phenomena. So if we had language feature that support such behavior it would make that language more fundamental. Regards, Vladimir Olensky
