Re: Other Ada Standards (was Re: SIGada Conference)

I don't know how difficult it would be in reality - to some extent that 
may be compiler-dependent. The point is, the cost isn't "Zero", the 
problem it purports to fix doesn't look like a problem - or at least a 
trivial problem and given the limited resources there are available for 
standards changes, we'd be better off dedicating those resources to some 
effort that is more significant. (Analogy: Are we rearranging the deck 
chairs on the Titanic? Maybe we'd be better off patching the big holes 
in the boat or helping the passengers get into the lifeboats.)
