I'm not sure what whole-program analysis you're thinking of.
In Ada, you can tell whether a procedure is dispatching at compile time
of the declaration of that procedure. And you can tell whether a given
call is dispatching at compile time of that call. No whole-program
analysis needed.
There would be some overhead when converting a Boolean to Boolean'Class.
A Boolean should fit in 1 byte (or 1 bit if packed). So you don't want
to store a Tag with every Boolean. Instead, you want to gin up the
Tag on conversion to class-wide. But this overhead is not DISTRIBUTED
overhead, so it doesn't matter.
