(talking about renaming the results of function calls)
Most certainly! But I don't think this particular use (providing an entirely
redundant way of renaming enumeration literals) is one of these _very_ useful
thinks :-)
Note that the two forms of renaming are not quite equivalent:
type x is (a1, a2);
type y is (a3, a4);
function z return x renames a1;
function z return y renames a3;
-- legal
z : x renames a1;
z : y renames z3;
-- illegal
