Don Harrison says
"Disagree. Overloading *is* syntactic sugar because it merely allows reuse
of an identifier without any semantic difference (to using a different one).
The reason Ada does not need checks on use of polymorphism is that
it is avariant (no variance) compared with Eiffel which is covariant."
You only disagree because you don't really know the details of what you
are talking about. You really need to know Ada 95 better before making
incorrect statements like this. In particular, overloading plays quite
an important role with respect to generic instantiation, and is much
more than syntactic sugar in Ada.
