Thin bindings are the equivalent of translating a C header file in to
Ada. A thick binding would be to abstract the yuckiness (technical term)
of C style programming with code that leverages the P O W E R of Ada.
Familiar C++ example of thin/thick bindings:
Windows 32 API = Thin C/C++ binding to Windows API
Microsoft Foundation Classes = Thick C++ binding to Windows API
