INOX (which is enabled via -gnatX) supports composite case-statement selectors.
As a temporary measure, simplify the coverage-related compile-time checks
for such case statements via two changes: an others choice is always
required for such a case statement, and no legality checks relating to
overlapping of case choices are performed.

temporary rule that a "when others =>" case choice must be given
when casing on a composite selector.
