Aside from the fact that the above might not be serious, it, and a couple
other recent postings, seem to reflect a common misunderstanding. Just
because ADA uses "subscript checking", strong typing, etc., doesn't mean
these things are somehow peculiar to ADA; it's just that ADA attempts to
employ a lot of things that it has recently come to be believed are good
things to have. This discussion is about things related to type checking,
detection of addresses that do not name valid objects, detection of
uninitialized values, etc., and only incidentally is related to ADA because
ADA happens to employ these principles to some extent.
