Memory is cheap. :-)

What if there is *not* enough memory? I have a data structure that
takes 1GB and 100 tasks that read it.

A container of use cases will be needed to store them. ;-)
BTW - Does it count as a use-case itself?

A dictionary?

I don't think this is a good approach - it's a chicken&egg problem.
If there are no containers to do the job, then programmers will
successfully do this job with other languages and they will never
express their use cases here, so you will not find any justification
for implementing them in Ada, thus scaring even more programmers off
and so on.
