This is not true in general!

Every access type has an assciated storage pool. If this pool is not defined 
upon declaration, a default storage pool is used.

There is nothing in the standard that says that all allocated objects of an 
access type are freed when the access type goes out of scope. How could it, 
since this might be a global default storage pool.

There is however RM 13.11(18): If Storage_Size is defined for an access type, 
all storage is reclaimed if the (master of) the type goes out of scope.

So you have to limit the pool if you want such a kind of garbage collection.
