Seems rather restrictive. So you're saying that if I decide to code
up a julean type date and use only the last two digits of the year,
that's impossible to do in Ada? So as a user, I have to always type
the four digit year? This is unecessary in most cases. As the first
two digits can be determined with some intelligent logic.
