   --  discriminants of records that appear in constraints of component of the
   --  record, because Gigi uses the discriminant name to retrieve its value.
   --  In the other hand, it has to be performed for default expressions of
   --  components because they are used in the record init procedure. See Einfo
   --  for more details, and Exp_Ch3, Exp_Ch9 for examples of use. For
   --  discriminants of tasks and protected types, the transformation is more
   --  complex when it occurs within a default expression for an entry or
   --  protected operation. The corresponding default_expression_function has
