[I noticed the smiley, but really...] If you really care that this
counts as three lines of code instead of one you need to get a better
line of code counter. It doesn't even have to be very exotic - one of
the simplest (and best?) ones I have seen for C merely counts lines that
have more than two non comment, non-white space characters in it. It is
about a page of code (mostly to count lines by function) and would still
count this example as one line. For Ada, you could change that from two
characters to two tokens (so you ignore null;) to get the same effect.

[and no - I don't want to get into a flame war about how to count lines
(or statements) of code :-)]
