Robert,
We still have quite a few embedded platforms for which 64 bit
integers are not supported. We would like to be able to use
Ada 95 for them, so a requirement for a language feature that
is not supported would be meaningless. Also, there has been
some discussion, in the past, about support for eight-bit
microcontrollers such as the I-8051 family. I am sure some
compiler developer would find it very entertaining to design
an Ada compiler with 8051 64 bit integers, but also quite
useless.
