Most people find the use of discriminants as "constructor arguments" a
natural and powerful feature in Ada (though naturally they don't think
in terms of this terminology).
You can declare that "I think X is a kludge" for any X, but such a statement
is only helpful to discussion if you give some idea *why* you think this.
