Re: Question on IR2058

The intended wording is
"The implicitly declared ... subprograms appropriate for the type."
For example, file types have several implicitly declared procedures and 
one implicitly declared
function. Perhaps the wording "appropriate for the type" is misleading, 
since this has a technical
meaning (for prefixes.) The LRM does use the word "appropriate" in 
several contexts.

Any suggestions for improved reading?
