The overloading algorithm is much more limited (i.e., less selective)
than that of real Ada. It makes only limited use of the context in which a subexpression
appears to resolve its meaning, and it is much looser in its rules for allowing
type matches. As a result, some function calls will be ambiguous, and the user
will be asked to choose the proper resolution.

If the expression @var{E} is a variable residing in memory
(typically a local variable or array element) and @var{N} is
a positive integer, then @code{@var{E}@@@var{N}} displays the values of
@var{E} and the @var{N}-1 adjacent variables following it in memory as an array.
In Ada, this operator is generally not necessary, since its prime use
is in displaying parts of an array, and slicing will usually do this in Ada.
However, there are occasional uses when debugging programs
in which certain debugging information has been optimized away.
