Dynamic dispatch and calling parent

[Corey Minyard <minyard@metronet.com>]

I've looked through the FAQs, tutorials, and the rational and LRM and
I haven't found an answer to my question.  I am trying to create a
dynamically dispached function.  I want the function for the child
type to be able to call the parent's function much like you can in
Java, Oberon-2, C++, etc.  This way, the private parent portion may be
operated on.  However, I can't figure out how; my best guess is that
it is not possible.  Currently I am defining static and dynamically
dispached versions of the function and calling the static versions
from the child.  However, I consider this less than optimal.  I would
be disappointed if Ada couldn't do this.

Any help would be appreciated.  And this probably should be a FAQ
item.

Thanks,

Corey
