By the way, it is useful to point out that the Rationale has
no official status with respect to the standard. It is a
separate informal document written by a small number of people,
and not reviewed with anything like the care of the RM itself.
There are quite a few statements in the Rationale that are
plain wrong, and there are many more cases where opinions are
expressed that not everyone would agree with :-)

That does not mean that it is not a useful reference, just that
it does not have any special status when compared to other Ada
text books.
