How about a small sort contest. Suppose you want to write an Ada sort with
the spec:
type x is array (integer range <>) of integer;
procedure sort (data : in out x); -- sorts into ascending order
What's the least number of Ada tokens (counting from the IS to the semicolon
following the END) that implements this spec?
