What idiocy!  This is a fine incentive to start writing Ada code like

for I in L'Range(1)loop for J in R'Range(2)loop Res(I,J):=0.0; for K in
L'Range(2)loop Res(I,J):=Res(I,J)+L(I,K)*R(K,J);end loop;end loop;end loop;

instead of

   for I in Left'Range(1) loop
      for J in Right'Range(2) loop
         Result(I, J) := 0.0;
         for K in Left'Range(2) loop
            Result(I, J) :=  Result(I, J) + Left(I, K) * Right(K, J);
         end loop;
      end loop;
   end loop;
