Another proposal for arrays (and other types)

Another proposal for arrays (and other types)

[Wes Groleau]

I think this has already been proposed by someone else:

Generalize the declaration of default values on types.

   type Ant is range Min .. Max := (Min + Max ) / 2;

   type Primary is (Blue, Yellow, Red) := Blue;

   type List is array (Some_Discrete)
             of Thing := <any legal aggregate or entity>;

I like it.  It'd give people a chance to control the defaults for a 
given type, and that'd be a good thing!
