Hi people,

As the thread's title tells, I'm seeking for papers exposing thoughts  =

about the compared use of tagged types and access to sub=E2=80=91program=
s. I know  =

the page from the Ada 95 Style Guide [1], but it's not verbose enough to=
  =

me. I already have some opinions on the topic, however also believe I ha=
ve  =

not enough background.

I welcome any other pointers if anyone know ones, preferably with real  =

life use=E2=80=91cases where both options were compared, as well as form=
al  =

analysis.

As an additional aside but related question, I'm also interested in the =
 =

question in the particular context of storage=E2=80=91pools, which use t=
agged  =

types instead of simple sub=E2=80=91program designated by some attribute=
s or  =

operator overloading (I imagine simple sub=E2=80=91programs could have b=
een an  =

option for the `new` operator, just like for the other operators).
