Never needed that, but it seems that there no way to change the 
discriminant of a definite object of limited type because there is no 
assignment.

Say, we have an array of limited variant records with a defaulted 
discriminant. Then there is no way to fill that array ever, because 
element's discriminants are frozen.

P.S. Yet another example why Ada needs proper constructors instead of 
limited returns...
