Two that I think would be useful would be: (1) "Delayed_Representation" for enumerations which would allow the following, which is not currently possible due to freezing: Package Ex1 is -- Statuses for drives. Type General_Status is (Unmounted, Standby, Ready, Busy, Unknown) with Delayed_Representation; -- Statuses for non-removable drives. Subtype HD_Status is General_Status range Standby..Unknown; Private For General_Status use ( Unmounted => 2#0000#, Standby => 2#0001#, Ready => 2#0011#, Busy => 2#0101#, Unknown => 2#1111# ); End Ex1; (2) An aspect indicating a function which is not-only pure, but static -- intended to be computed at compile-time; this could, for example, be used to make the formulae in the endian-independent paper ( http://www.sigada.org/ada_letters/sept2005/Endian-Independent%20Paper.pdf ) directly usable. Or should I submit these as AI entries? (In either case, what should I do to get these addressed?)
