We had a book with a reading guide. We weren't shown the specs showing 
the type of controlled/limited_controlled. So, when you don't have that 
information and only know that you can derive from it and then implement 
2 or 3 subprograms, you don't need to know about OOP in Ada.

Just like we didn't touch generic packages until much later in the year, 
generic subprograms, yeah, because u_d was required early on.

How else would you do controlled types?
