Hmm, well, okay. But is it a meaning you and the Ada community could add (to
that of the singleton instance), or do we seek another word?

I quite like 'Create', but doesn't it clash with the rather different
meaning in Ada.*_IO?

Maybe 'Solo'?

   Team(England,Equestrian_Jumping,Female) := Solo(HRH_Princess_Anne);

Or 'Unitary'? 'Unitary_List'? 'Singular'?

   Team(England,Equestrian_Jumping,Female) := Singular(HRH_Princess_Anne);

Hmm, I quite like that ;-)

Felicitations,
