Argh!  This is a reconstruction of the earlier posting that I refered to
in an earlier posting (our mailer blew it ...)

C++ contains a number of serious differences, actually ...

Objects in C++ (like objects in Flavors, CommonLoops, Smalltalk, etc.)
may be dynamically allocated and freed -- Ada Generics are a somewhat
weaker notion.  Also, C++ provides single inheritance (unfortunately,
it does not support multiple inheritance; its designers feel that multiple
inheritance has unacceptable performance penalties).
