If some of the operations are functions, and you have an up-to-date 
compiler, then use aspect Exclusive_Functions so that the mutual exclusion 
extends to the functions as well as the procedures in the protected object. 
Otherwise, functions aren't *officially* exclusive, so you have to use all 
procedures for proper exclusion. (Note: I'm not aware of any Ada compiler 
that actually allows non-exclusive functions, but the possibility exists 
unless you use the aspect.)
