I know that. "abolish" meant "the internal logic and constraints of Ada83 not being the same anymore", no more (sorry, wrong word).
I wonder what already existing code PRECISELY would be broken, if the NEW norm (202x) would allow that construct. Since it was NOT present in older programs, how it being used in NEW ONES, could be a prolem ? Or gives a real world exemple, so I can get your point, AdaMagica.
