And the evaluation order of the return value vs the condition? E.g. in

    return Boolean'Input (Stream) when Boolean'Input (Stream);

There is no issue with exit-when of course. Return and, even, raise (as 
you can have an expressions there with Exception_Occurrence type) look 
problematic.

I would expect the condition evaluated first, but that is kind of 
"German" way of reading texts... 😂
