Some additional ambiguities, e.g.

   X'First  -- X is a type or an array?

Conceptually the language has the common space for everything named. If we
wanted to separate types, we should also do the packages, the labels, the
operations.

The latter is the most difficult part, because subprograms need to be
passed as parameters, and they are equivalent to literals and objects when
parameterless.
