What's wrong with the Boehm-Weiser library? It's known to work
with GCC/GNAT (the Java frontend depends on it), it interfaces
nicely with other languages, and it works in most modern OS's. 
What would you really gain from a "real" GC for Ada? (And what
do you mean by "real GC" anyway?)

Only a nerd would worry about wrong parentheses with
square brackets. But that's what mathematicians are.
