I could be wrong, but I thought that Unchecked_Conversion is erroneous in
_any_ case.  I heard that the first validated Ada compiler, Ada/Ed, took
advantage of that fact and generated code to raise Program_Error wherever
the program tried to make use of Unchecked_Conversion.

Is this true, and if so, has any of it changed with Ada 95 and the new
'Valid attribute?

Someone please enlighten me.
