If you want to be sure that a routine is dispatching from your root type,
all of the child type's operations should include "overriding" on the
subprogram declarations. (Unless, of course, that's not implemented in your
compiler.) That way, if you make some error such that the compiler doesn't
see the routines as dispatching, you'll get a compiler error. That's much
better than the hours in the debugger that you'd need otherwise.

(That advice doesn't apply to Ada 95, because it doesn't have the
"overriding" keyword.)
