Given prior discussion I was thinking yesterday how do one make a:

   *= for matrices in Ada?

I mean: A *= B; or procedure Prod (A,B);

At least if you define your matrix type as:

 type Matrix_Type is array (Positive range <>, Positive range <>) of
       Integer;

I mean even if one define "*" for Matrix_Type one cannot do:

   A := A * B

without getting a Constraint_Error which is reasonable.
