I don't know how inescapable is your "requirement" to hide predefined "="
from "ALL" data types. But here's something to consider:
How much will it cost over the life cycle to have maintenance programmers
replacing
if (A = B) = True then
with
if A = B then
only to (attempt to) compile and then change it back?
Plus the time wasted when initial programmers write
if A = B then
out of habit and have to (attempt to) compile twice?
Of course, with GNAT you can change the compiler to accept the standard
form with your new type Bool :-)
