I agree.  It would be a Good Thing if all Ada programmers could agree on
such trivial style issues as upper-case vs. lower-case reserved words.
The RM recommends lower case.  If I thought I could get away with it, I
would have made that a *requirement* in the RM.  But these issues are so
emotion-laden, that I never had any serious hope of getting away with
such a radical position -- I never even opened my mouth on the point.
