The crucial thing about all this is that the nasty details of 
interfacing to the dubious C interface are all contrained to a thin 
layer in the package body.  Outside this interface we have a nice clean 
link to the rather purer world of SPARK.

I tend to se this in the same light as Ada's view of things like 
unchecked conversion: it's allowed but we have to be open and explicit 
about what we are doing.
