If you borrow stuff from other, let me say it, inferior languages, you
borrow problems of these languages with. Not everyone was happy with Ada
2005, 2012, with the ideas behind the changes, with the ways these ideas
were implemented. I was not.
Regardless what I said, the dot notation is quite useful (and natural to
Ada, see Ada 83 tasks). One just should have been more careful the way
it was introduced. If it would apply to all types, not just tagged
records, then potential problems would be more visible and hopefully
resolved at the time. Many recent Ada changes suffer "tunnel vision" effect.
