According to OpenGL's specification (page 14):
These examples show the ANSI C declarations for these commands. In
general,
a command declaration has the form1
rtype Namef=0F1234gf=0F b s i i64 f d ub us ui ui64gf=0Fvg ( [args ,] T
arg1 , : : : , T argN [, args] );
rtype is the return type of the function. The braces (fg) enclose a
series of type
descriptors (see table 2.1), of which one is selected. =0F indicates no
type descriptor.
The arguments enclosed in brackets ([args ,] and [, args]) may or may
not be
present. The N arguments arg1 through argN have type T, which
corresponds to
one of the type descriptors indicated in table 2.1 (if there are no
letters, then the
arguments=92 type is given explicitly). If the final character is not v,
then N is given
by the digit 1, 2, 3, or 4 (if there is no digit, then the number of
arguments is fixed).
If the final character is v, then only arg1 is present and it is an
array of N values of
the indicated type.
For example,
void Uniformf1234gfifg( int location, T value );
indicates the eight declarations

The footnote reads:
"1The declarations shown in this document apply to ANSI C. Languages
such as C++ and Ada
that allow passing of argument type information admit simpler
declarations and fewer entry points."

Therefore, the very spec that you are claiming to advocate says that I
*CAN* use Ada and "simpler declarations and fewer entry points."
If you're going to "language-lawyer" at least read the rules/specs
that your opponent is citing, otherwise you come off as a jerk who is
too [intellectually] lazy to actually consider the problems/statements
at hand.
