It's somewhat ironic given this discussion that we've recently
seen the GNATColl error which caused incorrect string values to
be inserted into the database! It should serve as a caution to
those who seamlessly transition from "Ada is immune to entire
classes of errors prevalent in C++" to "Ada is immune to errors".
(And yes, I know that when baldly presented this way, everyone
will deny that they have ever said or thought the latter, but it
is the attitude that often comes through.)
