"By the way, there was a lot of argument about new reserved words added
for Ada 9X, which I thought was rather silly.  Norman Cohen was the
master of producing new semi-sensible syntax, without introducing new
reserved words.  I was never quite sure how tongue-in-cheek he was
being, but I believe he did suggest "is abs"."

Right, we really did not need new keywords

aliased = with seperate access
tagged = select type with use
protected = separate access for all task
delay until = delay terminate at 
requeue = use new entry

:-)
Maybe we should have an Ada keyword poetry contest
