Message-ID: <mailman.130.1071667916.31149.comp.lang.ada@ada-france.org> (raw)
"It is possible to make fancy use of generics and dispatching so that you
can have one specification matched by different bodies....
Interfaces allow a programmer
to say he is doing just that, and doing it intentionally."
Formal packages provide that.
Anyway, I'm ok with interfaces per se. I just worry that they might push other (for me more interesting) additions off the list (e.g. container library) given the scarse revision resources.
/* Tangent but doubly related issue: increasing the power of generics viz. towards generic parameters would be also a more interesting addition to me. I mean to be able to pass a generic unit to a (mandatorily generic) unit. I came across many situations where this would be useful. */
