36--  For performance analysis, take into account that the operations in this
37--  package provide the guarantee that all dispatching calls on primitive
38--  operations of tagged types and interfaces take constant time (in terms
39--  of source lines executed), that is to say, the cost of these calls is
40--  independent of the number of primitives of the type or interface, and
41--  independent of the number of ancestors or interface progenitors that a
42--  tagged type may have.
43
44--  The following subprograms of the public part of this package take constant
45--  time (in terms of source lines executed):
46
47--    Expanded_Name, Wide_Expanded_Name, Wide_Wide_Expanded_Name, External_Tag,
48--    Is_Descendant_At_Same_Level, Parent_Tag, Type_Is_Abstract
49--    Descendant_Tag (when used with a library-level tagged type),
50--    Internal_Tag (when used with a library-level tagged type).
51
52--  The following subprograms of the public part of this package execute in
53--  time that is not constant (in terms of sources line executed):
54
55--    Internal_Tag (when used with a locally defined tagged type), because in
56--    such cases this routine processes the external tag, extracts from it an
57--    address available there, and converts it into the tag value returned by
58--    this function. The number of instructions executed is not constant since
59--    it depends on the length of the external tag string.
60
61--    Descendant_Tag (when used with a locally defined tagged type), because
62--    it relies on the subprogram Internal_Tag() to provide its functionality.
63
64--    Interface_Ancestor_Tags, because this function returns a table whose
65--    length depends on the number of interfaces covered by a tagged type.
