I am tempted to quote Abraham Lincoln: "If you call a tail a leg,
it still doesn't make it a leg".
We are talking about inline! You claimed that C++ traded off the
benefits of separate compilation against the benefits of inlined code.
I hope I have demonstrated to you that C++ and Ada behave in
exactly the same way with regard to this trade-off, except that Ada
can manage to locate the body of the procedure "by itself" (that is,
Ada programming systems know where to look for a piece of code
once its name is given) and C++ requires the programmer to have
placed the body in scope at the call site.
