No, Hooray ! We have learned a lesson in reading specifications of
compilers before we go to depend upon them. Industry might prefer
that educators spin off a "GNAT-lite" with pathetically inadequate
(but standard-conforming) limits as a target for their student's
first porting exercise.
No, I don't think it is better for them to learn in an environment
like Java where everything is always the same, because life is not
that way.
