Yes, but then you have put a comment above it explaining what "Ignore" is
supposed
to mean.  I think a better self-documenting place holder would be:

  type Months is
(PlaceHolderSoThatValuesReturnedByAdaCalendarMonthWillLineUpWithThisType,
                  Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov,
Dec);

PS.

I case someone can't figure it out, that was really a joke.  But the more I
think about
it, it would probably be alright because no one is going to use the actual
value.  For
initialization, you would be setting the variable to 'FIRST anyway.
