I can't remember all the details (there is a recording on-line for
that), but one of his points was (as I understand it) that whatever we
add to Ada should either simplify it (if that is possible) or be a
"killer feature" for attracting new people to Ada.

One of the ideas discussed was to extend what you can control with
storage pools.  (I've earlier argued for dereferencing being managed by
the storage pools. :-)
