The necessity to use C types is what the cited article defines as
"weak", I think. There is a glossary.
IIUC, a C(++) int and another C(++) int might be logically unrelated,
yet they tend to be of the same type.  A Current and a Count might
be logically unrelated, and they tend to be of different types in Ada,
though both are integer types.

If backwards compatibility could be made an option instead
of a drag,  int<...> made a template, how much of the trouble
might this remove, how well can it be integrated with the STL, ...
