Quick one here...

If something is created dynamically with new, is it
necessary to deallocate it with Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation,
or will it be removed from the heap space when the program
exits? From the "C" world, I've always been taught to clean
up after myself... is this necessary?  It seems that usually,
"Unchecked" anything in Ada is bad...

Ada95, GNAT on Linux 2.0

Thanks!
