There are several examples of untagged discriminated types in my book. Many of 
them have been there since I first wrote it in 1981.

You're right, this is more of an academic discussion. After retirement, I held 
some basic Ada programming courses in German, which I finally made public (in 
very extended form because for self study, there is no time limit like in a 
payed course constrained to a few days) at Ada Germany web site.

I'm now working on a future public course about OOP, and I sought an 
application for untagged discriminated types. I myself do not find the Coaches 
example very convincing. But the RM requirements are not convincing either :-(

I'll continue the discussion on GitHub.

Christoph
