[About a Pascal to Ada translator]

# Does it warn Pascal authors when they use non-standard
# constructs? (Assuming there are people who carelessly write Pascal and
# then translate to Ada, because they have to deliver Ada.)
# It might bring some of Ada's "standard advantages" to their
# attention.

It could be an idea - count the non-standard constructs in the Pascal source
and give the total as well as the total/lines ratio after translation.
Of course one should not "punish" people for being "careless", since the compilers
accept non-standard constructs, partly for commerical lock-in purposes and partly
because they *have* to extend the language.
