So that's to be added with the other project I've heard about here at  =

comp.lang.ada, about first-class-functions (it was during the thread abo=

making constant declarations overloadable if my mind is right) and the  =

pre-post-condition discussed here and on fr.c.l.a.

As Santa Claus seems to be actually checking orders, do you know if ther=

will be something like co-routines ? We already have tasks, but tasks ar=

a bit too much heavy as co-routines. I was to open a thread to investiga=
