And if anyone is wondering why Ada is designed this way, it is (someone
correct me if I'm wrong) to do with implementation: the Ada rendezvous
mechanism (wherein the recipient is always specified by the sender) makes
for a particularly simple implementation, not requiring any chunks of memory
to be allocated for queue space (queues of waiting callers are simply
implemented by a having a 'waiting-link-through' pointer in each task's
descriptor).
