Hi,

Is it under Ada any "natural" way to generate random
elements of enumeration type (for example (a,b,c))
and with a given non-uniform probability distribution ?

I.e. so for example "a" is produced by probability 1/2
and "b" and "c" both with probability 1/4 ?

(Yes, I can do it via Float_Random, but the code looks ugly).
