<<Actually, this shows an inconsistency with GNAT between enumeration
literals, and actual functions.

     1. procedure T1 is
     2.    type Items is (Item);
     3.
     4.    Item_2 : Items renames Item;
                                  |
        >>> expect object name in renaming

     5.    function Item_3 return Items renames Item;
     6.    Item_4 : Items renames Item_3;>>


Yes, indeed. This is a change from Ada 83 to Ada 95 that keeps escaping
me (entertaining that it escaped RR too :-) Anyway, easily fixed once
pointed out. I must say in a way it is a bit odd that enumeration
literals are functions at all ... although I am used to it by now.
