Well who knows who teaches what. There are two ways of doing
things in Ada, choose the one that is most convenient. If you
are concerned with efficiency, measure which is most efficient
in your implementation and do it. This is something that may
easily vary from one implementation to another.

As to your worries about the internal implementation, I don't
understand, do you have some feeling that they are wrong or
inapropriate? If so why? One would assume that each
implementation uses the most appropriate approach.
