Ahhhh, but now we are dependent on C to do the work for us and all the 
Ada critics will rightly say "See?!?!?! Ada just isn't as popwerful as C 
is!!!" :-) And then we're back to the "Well, you can always build a 
binding to Language XYZ's library of really useful stuff....." argument 
that has Ada forever playing "Catch Up" to other languages and fails to 
persuade people to use Ada.

If you can do something like this in C, why shouldn't Ada have the same 
facility?
