And this?

function Make_Session (Count: Integer) return Internet_Session is
begin
   for Index in Integer'Range loop
      declare
         Result : return Internet_Session (Index);
      begin
         if HALT (x) then
            return Result;
         end if;
      end;
   end loop;
end Make_Session;

I really dislike this construction. The single possible advantage of this 
feature I see, is that maybe, it could allow results for entry points, 
maybe not.
