   --  dynamic priority changes. On exit, the call will not be queued.
   --  This waits for calls on task or protected entries.
   --  Abortion must be deferred when calling this procedure.

   --  Cancelled = True iff the cancelation was successful, i.e.,
   --  the call was not Done before this call.
   --  On return, the call is off-queue and the ATC level is reduced by one.

   --  Raise any pending exception from the Entry_Call.
   --  This should be called at the end of every compiler interface
   --  procedure that implements an entry call.
   --  In principle, the caller should not be abort-deferred (unless
   --  the application program violates the Ada language rules by doing
   --  entry calls from within protected operations -- an erroneous practice
   --  apparently followed with success by some adventurous GNAT users).
   --  Absolutely, the caller should not be holding any locks, or there
   --  will be deadlock.
