If many people "abuse" something in the same way, what lesson should
we learn? Is there something people want to do that is reasonable,
but the only way they can think of to do it is by "abusing" a feature
intended by the designers for something else, or are there just a lot
of ignorant people trying to use fancy features of Ada in
short-sighted ways?
Should we be considering changes/additions to Ada 200X, or
changes/additions to Ada textbooks?
