No, but arguing with absolutists who post straw man proposals to disparage others opinions is usually a waste of time, so likely those who do favor such redundancies in Ada decided that responding would be like discussing religion with a true believer, or politics with a Marxist or an Objectivist; in other words, pissing in the wind.
