Bob Duff said
<<This is true, but if the language is going to allow this for arrays and
tasks, it should allow it for all types. That would make the language
simpler, by making it more uniform. It might even be useful, once in a
while:>>
My example here would be
System_Status : (Going, Stopped, Terminating);
but allowing anonymous types uniformly, as Bob Duff said, would lead to
a huge increase in complexity for relatively little gain (Even thinking
about implementing it in GNAT makes my head ache :-)
