<<This looks legal, to me. You're renaming calls to the enum lits (which
are like functions, in Ada). Perhaps you meant to say:
function Grey0 return Color_Type renames Gray0;
... and similarly for gr[ea]y1.
;-) But either way, it should be legal.>>
Ah, interesting, so what Bob is saying is that since the functoin call
returns an object, it is legal to rename the object that it returns.
OK, if so, that's a surprise (to several people here), but that seems
right to me, though a bit odd.
