Sorry if I never reported the "protected" problem. It's possible that you did report it rather than me stumbling on it when updating the syntax. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I fixed that in the beta version that you recently received, so I don't think you have to do that anymore (if you do, I need to know). I think I did that at the same time I did a half-hearted attempt at implementing the Ada 2005 syntax in it (I say half-hearted because the testing was pretty minimal; I think it works adequately but I didn't try that many test cases).
