This is a terrible choice of the Ada standard for variable names
convention.

Variable names should be all lower case, as in

        letter_wheel

easier to read, easier on the eye since it is uniform size, vs.

        Letter_Wheel

Many other languages uses the convention of lower case only
for variable names.

Sorry, do not mean to jump in like this, or change the topic,
but this is something I always disliked about Ada code. Makes
it ugly for me to read with variables using MiXed Upper_Case like
this.

But, since it is the convention, I agree with you that it
should be followed, even if one does not like it.
