Thanks, Stephen, just what I needed.

I have tried this out in a couple of small-ish pilot projects, and I can
say that it solves the few problems I've seen with Ada as an OO
language.

Does anyone know where the "official" discussions stand with
regard to the various solutions proposed to the with-ing problem?

I've also come up against a bug in GNAT (at least that's what GNAT
itself claims). Is there a publically available known bug list, so I could
check against it before I submit a report?

Regards,
Peter
