That was proposed early in the Ada 9x process (that is, "when expr" on
returns, raise, etc.). It eventually got dropped as not important enough
when the scope of Ada 9x was reduced.
Generally, we haven't looked at "nice to haves" or things that got dropped
from Ada 9x (conditional expressions is another thing that comes to mind).
There wasn't exactly a groundswell of comments in those areas, either.
Randy.
