This is interesting: I thought in the Java and C++ worlds, using
exceptions to manage normal control flow was frowned on, in part because
the exception mechanism is quite heavyweight. And in Haskell,
exceptions are considered i/o effects and therefore nasty in pure code
(code with side effects is "impure" and has a special type signature).
Is there wisdom about this in Ada?
