We purposely did not answer that question, because compilers do not agree 
and the only way to get any agreement at all was to leave it unsatisfied. 
Most of the compilers do the former (Janus/Ada certainly does), but there 
was a vocal minority that wanted the latter be supported.

You should add this question to the Ada-Comment thread (with an appropriate 
example), so we can have that fight all over again. It's important that you 
have shown that it may have semantic effects (we were convinced it did not, 
so we decided not to answer the question).
