As I understand it, (non-strict) name equivalence is used both for basic 
and structured types (see paragraph one in the definition of *same type* 
posted earlier in this thread). NW's PO 2013 compiler, however, uses 
structural equivalence for arrays and procedures but, if I understand it 
correctly, is not (yet) a part of the language specification.

It's probably something in the message headers.
