-- Because it isn't a restriction, it is a naming conflict.

-- You need to be able to name the current task object in the body of
-- the task, and you sometimes need to be able to refer to the task
-- type as well.  The design team decided to use the task type name
-- for the first for consistency with task objects.  This means a
-- different name must be used for the type.  Therefore if you need to
-- name the type (and since qualified names won't work) you have to
-- declare a subtype outside the task body.
