[Short version:] not important!

More important would be to add to Ada83 still in activity
(DEC Ada: latest update 4/1999 or later) some name syntax for
Ada95 packages.

For DEC Ada:
  "Ada.Numerics.Generic_Elementary_functions" would alias "Math_Lib"
and so on;
Interfaces would be added (some contents are already in System!)
as well as Interfaces.Fortran.

Would be a Ada 83.5, but very useful.

Another thing to do: compare compilers, Ada and Fortran,
on many platforms, to have an idea of the numerics-friendly
optimisations.
