Some time I am wondering why record type has different syntax pattern
than the rest with respect to type ending text. That is it ends with
'end record;' no matter what the identifier is. The rest of others end
with 'end identifier'. Below are examples regarding this subject.

type Data is record
   X_Coord : Integer := 0;
   Y_Coord : Integer := 0;
    -- more components
end record;

task type Event_Monitor is
    entry Start;
    entry Process (...)
end Event_Monitor;
