Yes, the indefinite container forms do come in handy sometimes.  In this case
it allows you to have a container of heterogenenous items.

Note that I declared the List_Type as tagged so you could use the new
distinguished-receiver syntax:

with Lists;
procedure List_Test is
   L : Lists.List_Type;
begin
   L.Append (1);
   L.Append (-1.0);
   L.Append (2);
   L.Append (-2.0);
end List_Test;

Even more tidy!
