My point was to show that my mentioning using
<package>.<type> to resolve ambiguity nicely
in my first message was actually not the first
time that it was mentioned (ever if not explicitely)
in c.l.a.  I probably expected that seeing that
simple example would be enough to cause a mental
"click" regarding some benifits of that construction.

No big deal, as long as there may now be at least
one less "_Type" writer. ;)

(Note that I wrote alittle more in one of your
other messages in the thread regarding original
Ada rationale.)
