Matthew asks

"To the designers of Ada 95: Was this feature considered for inclusion?  Is
it a candidate for inclusion in Ada 0X?"

First question: not particularly. there were no strong user requirements
expressed in this area, and the thinking expressed in the original design
does not seem visiting.

Second question: There is no Ada 0X project, and I doubt that this would
be seriously considered for inclusion in the next version of Ada if and
when such is considered.

Meanwhile, if someone is interested in a feature like this, hack it into
GNAT, and play with it!
