Here's something that I thought was illegal.  

We've all seen Ada programs that overloaded the standard operators
("+","-","*","/"). We've also seen people overload the concatination
operator "&".  But I didn't think it was possible to overload the
"AND" and "OR" operators.  

The following compiles without error on DEC Ada:

     PACKAGE test is

       function "and"(l,r: integer) return integer;

     END test;
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     WITH test; USE test;

     PROCEDURE mytest IS

     a, b,c : integer;

     BEGIN
       a := b AND c;		-- a call to the function TEST."AND" 
     END mytest;
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Many thanks to Renzo Bianchi and Gary Smith of TI, Colorado Springs for
bringing this to my attention.

Live and learn.
