Yep, perhaps I subconsciously remembered something about that thread.

I was trying to find it in the AI's, and I couldn't.  But Randy's
comment suggests that someone may have made a proposal like this
before Ada 95, and I was only looking in the AI95 and AI05's---not the
AI83's.

Anyway, if I feel up to submitting this as a proposed language change,
I'll make sure you get credit.  I do think this syntax, which you
mentioned in the previous thread and which I apparently unconsciously
plagiarized, is the cleanest.
