"And my question was, why does being able to rename a subprogram AS A
BODY matter? What is so NEW about this? Why should I care about this
NEW thing?"
Well any new feature may or may not be useful to you, but please study
my example more carefully, you CANNOT do whyat I suggested in Ada 83.
The new feature is, as shown in my example, the ability to provide a
completion using a renaming, instead of a normal body. This saves having
to write a junk wrapper routine with an extra call.
It is most useful when used in the private part of a spec.
