After reading through the thread and some more documentation on Ada, I real=
ized that I had a misconception about exactly when dynamic dispatch happene=
d: I hadn't quite grasped the difference between T and T'Class. I don't kno=
w where the test I wrote went, but my guess is that I found an example of d=
oing user defined indexing that used T'Class and copied that. I just tried =
something quickly using an indexing function that takes a T instead of T'Cl=
ass, and it does appear to not be making a virtual call.
