I just wasted a couple of hours on a closely related problem, which I
propose we call "the snark effect" (see thread "hunting snarks"). I
changed the profile of the base type operation (one parameter changed
from "in out" to "access" to avoid an accesibility problem). But I
forgot to change one of the operations in one of the (many) derived
types. In similar situations, Ada catches such errors (ie, change spec
but forget to change body). I'd like Ada to catch this as well.
