Jon Anthony says

<<More to the point: not _relevant_ in the Ada case as this is handled
by a different orthogonal capability (instead of conflating it with
module as in Eiffel).>>

I often point out that unify and confuse mean the same thing (join
together), but express a different point of view about the desirability
of doing so -- conflate is nicely neutral.
