If so, it would be fine for compilers to have a style-check warning saying
that 
it is a "retro compatibility feature" that should not be used normally. 
Personally I was stunned the first time I saw Ada code with these
anonymous 
access types in parameters. Funny that Ada 2005 reintroduces a design hack
of 
the 1960's...
