Considering the time of year, your cynicism is probably well placed. But it is
farily reasonable to want to look at a large amount of Ada source in order to
learn how to use the language properly. Example programs always help me that
way. There's a lot you can't pick up about a language just by reading manuals.
Reading other's code is a very good shortcut to experience.

Its also possible he doesn't believe such a program exists, and wants to prove
his belief, but now I'm getting cynical...
