"if aTimeInterval encloses anotherTimeInterval
then -- It is clear which interval encloses which."
Are there reasons to forbid this sort of thing? Yes indeed, it is a common

is a bad idea for a language like Ada, for all sorts of reasons, and it is
not something that I have ever heard anyone seriously consider.
