One thing you could do here to reduce an assignment is change M's declaration to:
       M : Nights.Message RENAMES Nights.Create ("Hello World");

This eliminates a whole set of adjust/finalize by eliminating the temporary anonymous object AND the assignment. (Ok, so it's really giving a name to the anonymous object so you can use it directly.)
