Two spaces between sentences, please.

This index entry is backwards: it should be "overloading, Ada".
That's because the reader is much more likely to think of
"overloading" than of "Ada" when she wants to look up this entry.

markup of user input and key names.

Won't "specific instance" be more accurate?  Those entries are no
longer overloaded, are they?

@key{RET}.

Two spaces where indicated.  Also, I thing you can safely delete
"activated" and leave just @code{on} without parentheses.

> +@pxref{Overloading support for Ada}

@xref, not @pxref, and place a period after the closing brace.

OK with these fixed.

Thanks.
