Actually for newbies, I find it simpler to use IDEs such as GPS,
as you mentioned in your email.

Funny enough, this is not even Ada 95: Ada 83 had the same notion of
inherited subprograms. It's just very subtle and most people are not even
aware of it (and are sometimes surprised that some subprograms are
visible, even if no 'use' clause is used).

What Ada 95 brings in addition is polymorphism and data extension.

You don't even need to push any button: simply put the mouse over this function,
and let the tooltip window appear.
