We did indeed consider this possibility, and I even think it
was in one of the earlier mapping documents, but it was
excluded because the implementation and description
difficulties outweighed the usefullness, and further more
for the specific examples presented, there seemed to be
perfectly acceptable alternative methods of doing things.
There is quite a bit of semantic structure in Ada that depends
on knowing the possible set of enumeration types statically.
