I am afraid that this concept came from lisp and smalltalk where these  
languages declared as functional.

Ada seems procedural, like pascal, and standard refers to initialization,  
not construction. Perhaps, this misconception is the purpose for such  
things: for any embedded system this construction may be done by  
translator/compiler, and in a resulting flash-rom image there is only  
initialization with actual values is needed (being minimized and optimized  
already). Ada prefers static definitions, and even has a special term for  
this job: elaboration.

I doubt that you can construct complex object without elaboration and  
initialization of it and its components in ada.
