Yet another example of the
"it works therefore it is right"
syndrome. The trouble will come when you eventually DO
have to use another compiler or another version of the
compiler, or move the code to another machine. All too
often, the assumption is "Since Ada is portable, this
should be zero effort".
All too often that is wrong, because the code is incorrect
in the first place!
