It is the same for finalization of a Controlled type in Ada95.

This isn't a very convincing argument, since the C++/Java version
requires one more token than the Ada version.
The advantage of the Ada syntax is that binary operations are
symmetrical. You don't want to have a distinguished receiver, because
there isn't one -- there are two. Indeed, there may be more.
The other benefit of the Ada way is that the syntax for manipulation of
user-defined types is consistent. You don't want to have Yet Another
Notation just because the type happens to be tagged.
Push (Item, On => Stack);
Is stack a tagged type or not? I don't know -- but that's the point.
