Correct.  I wrote that while taking a break from working on a program 
that is fighting the aliased rules all over the place.  I actually had 
to change some type declarations to have an initial value, just so the 
subtypes statically matched.  I have no idea what that is supposed to 
accomplish, since arrays with different bounds can statically match if 
they take their bounds from the initial value.  (Yeah, I know, the 
actual subtypes are therefore both unbounded.  But I think we could have 
found a better rule.)

I didn't throw my computer out the window this morning. I took a break 
instead.  Guess why I am reading comp.lang.ada again...
