I tested it and found that the reverse operation of the reserved word 'new'
is given by the generic package Unchecked_Deallocation in RM-13.11.2.
Instantiating a Free procedure as given in RM-13.11.2(5) works and provides
the required function.
From reading the Rationale and Reference Manual, the novice (like me) can
not deduce, that this 'Unchecked_'-Package is required for normal usage.
Instead the longish discussions about accessibility rules lead me to the
belief, that access types are like smart pointers.
Sorry for that.
