:to this in c.l.e., as I remember several language wars starting from
:c.l.ada/eiffel crossposting, and I just don't care for them.
BTW, I cross-posted because Eiffel was being discussed and others
(Patrick, in this case) may have wanted to participate. My intention
wasn't to re-ignite a language war. I don't have the time or inclination
to participate in one.
Presumably, you think it's clearer, in Ada, if variables and types have
different identifiers. That may be true and the decision to require this
a language rule may be the right one for Ada.
For Eiffel, I think allowing use of the same identifier is the right
policy as the simpler syntax is unlikely to cause confusion.
