declaimed the following:
>I concur. A modern backwards-compatibility-breaking course-correction of Ada would strictly enforce this prohibition of arrays outside of private. It would do this as part of dismantling what was in vogue prior to 1980 but has not weathered the test of time due to Ada80 and Ada83 paying far too much homage to legacy languages prior to 1980. (Thank goodness that Ada did not need to purge PL/1-esque nesting-level numbers from its records as CHILL eventually needed to do, as a hideous example of paying too much homage to one of the worst ideas in PL/1.)

Since PL/1 attempted to be a do-all language, I suspect level nesting
numbers were purloined from COBOL.
