Applause from here! I don't know---because no one pays for
unaccountable time---how much time I have spent on looking
for language modules that work with systems and versions.

Even languages of ubiquitous presence continue to affect
projects with portability-caused problems, in basic modules
in particular. So, a setup such as yours for Ada can draw
attention to the "desease" and let managers see the impact
and savings resulting from well-made subsystems that were
checked for portability!
