I don't get your point: importing exit() from the standard C library
is not more difficult than instantiating Ada.Unchecked_Dellocation to
reclaim unused memory space. If the programmer really needs this
feature badly, it only takes a few characters to use it.
C, and many other languages, do have the ability of modifying a loop
index within the loop. We do not have this in the Ada "for" loop", but we
can "emulate" this with a varianle and a simple or a "while" loop. The
situation is similar here. If you want to do it, you can, but there is
no need to make it a language construct or a standard library.
