Ada has mainly value semantics.
If container is intended to be used as value (like Indefinite_Holder),
"substitutable" is natural.
But if container is intended to be used as access type (like smart
pointer or handle), I think, it is unnatural.
Because we can define another operation having same name for access
type.
type Integer_Access is access Integer;
function "+" (Left : Integer_Access; Right : Storage_Offset) return
Integer_Access;
declare
a, b : Integer;
c : Integer_Access; d : Storage_Offset;
begin
a + b -- sum of integers
c + d -- address arithmetic
c.all + d -- sum of referenced integer and offset value
end;
(of course, we usually does not address arithmetic with smart pointer.
this is supposed story.)
