That makes it sound like A is the one doing the overriding, not the
later C and E references.

Perhaps changing or updating would be better:

	A := (A changing C => D, E => F);

or

	A := (A updating C => D, E => F);

I think we need a new keyword because we are talking about adding
a subset update capability to Ada and that new usage should stand
out in any code.
