I was wondering how you would get around this problem. I suppose
the important questions to ask are
* Is this change integrated into your implementation of ASIS?
* Is it likely that other compiler vendors will implement it
(i presume you have talked to them about it)
* When will gnat 3.12p be released ;-) (someone had to be first
to ask!)
If we can get everyone to implement it, it would make the ugly hack
for CORBA (cleverly invented by John Volan if I remember correctly)
no longer necessary.
