"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
idea, there are some languages  that follow this idea (e.g. ABC), but it
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.
