For those who haven't come across the wonderful but incredibily
verbose DEC Ada, I just ran a little test on a project of mine.

I change
  package FIO  is new Float_IO(float);
  package LFIO is new Float_IO(float);

into
  package FIO  is new Float_IO(float);
  package LFIO is new Float_IO(FT_real);

DEC Ada produces 2925 lines of insults (180 KB),
at the end of which you can read:

 Terminating compilation because ERROR_LIMIT=30 reached

!!!
