More than that, this would mean you could not even have composite type. =
To  =

understand it, think of the sub=E2=80=91program parameters as a implicit=
 record of  =

some implicit type.

So obviously, mixing types is unavoidable and Ada already knows it (but =
it  =

does not always knowns mixing types means creating a new type, or else, =
 =

sometime it just knowns anonymous and implicit types).
