Well I guess you can call anything an Ada subset, but the
original question was about an Ada compiler, which this is
definitely NOT. It is a compiler for a tiny language with
a syntax that looks like Ada, but which as a language is
really so far from Ada that it is misleading to call it
an Ada subset -- technically correct -- after all a compiler
that accepts no programs at all is technically an Ada subset
compiler -- but not usefully identified as Ada.
