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