They're supposed to provide a useless implementation that raises Use_Error
for most of the operations. There are a pair of Notes to that effect
(A.16(129-130)). I don't think features should ever be designed so that
implementations have to appeal to 1.1.3(6) - my preference would be that
that paragraph not exist with the language itself sufficiently flexible
where it matters. (Otherwise, implementations could leave out anything that
they want and appeal to 1.1.3(6). I think that both interfaces and
coextensions are "impractical" to implement for the benefit gained, so does
that mean I can ignore them and still have a complete Ada compiler??)
Randy.
