"Ada OO mechanism is not simple"

Well _I_ find Ada's mechanism quite simple, so we'll have to put
this down to perception. 

Quite simply (from my point of view) you declare a tagged type (class),
then you declare the subprograms (methods). Class wide pointers are the
equivalent of C++'s pointers, and you dispatch through them.

What else is there to know (that is equivalent to C++*)?
