The Rationale isn't at all the same as the Annotated Reference Manual: The
former is mostly a general outline of improvements since Ada-83, whereas
the latter is the Reference Manual annotated with remarks about subtle
issues of the language specification, i.e. the kind of stuff which compiler
implementors, language lawyers and other people (like me) who're interested
in the "dirty parts" of programming language design like to have. It's a bit
like a contract's fine print with commentaries from those who invented it -
non-lawyers aren't likely to find it very stimulating ;-)
