Yes, providing that it not seen by those outside the Ada community as a
convenient 'get out', whereby Ada compiler vendors are excused having to
conform fully to the RM. We all know that this would be completely unfair,
but outsiders might not. I agree with the "pathological" classification,
but we have to be careful that it never gets abused, bringing the Ada
language into disrepute.
