Suppose that you are writing the GNAT exception manager and that the frame
formats for the C language, the C++ language, the Ada95 language, etc. are
all different. Nevertheless, they are still frames and share some abstract
notions. As the GNAT runtime can be written in the full Ada95 language:),
you could write an abstract tagged type to represent frames. To unwind the
stack, you will call the abstract pop a frame method to force dispatching.

Now, if an application is made only of Ada code then the dispatching model
will:

    - always call the same code anyway,
    - ...
    - ...
