What a bunch of crap!  I can't belive I wrote that.  It must have been
before my first cup of coffee this morning.  Or, I started writing that line
and then went away, and then came back and blew a brain fuse when I resumed
typing.  Maybe when I went away, it was to get the cup of coffee!

What one *could* write (not that you'd want to, but it illustrates the
language concept I was trying to highlight), is:

    X : new X_Array_Type (1 .. N);

    begin
            X := (others => 0);
            .
            .

Doh!  Sheesh...
