There seems to be an implication here that I'm after some kind of
profit in some way related to GNAT technology, or want something
onerous from ACT, but that's not true. In fact they've already done a
truly great job and I was just nitpicking. Since I can't seem to
convey what I was actually trying to say to anyone on this thread I'm
just going to give up and go back to sleep.
