Ok, you are an idiot :-)

BTW i have conclusive proof that all of your examples are completely
bogus, but i'm afraid i don't have time to post the reasons why. Needless
to say, you can keep using Ada safe in the knowledge that there are no
such problems*.

* Actually there are 2 such examples that i know of.
They are...

   /=, =


   item : boolean := true;
   procedure a (item : boolean);
   a (item <= false);
   a (item => false);


Anyone know of any others?
