OK, I've learned a lesson.  I tried a "hack"....  No excuses hereby expressed.

But when one mixes languages one may have to visit each N'te element in
arrays.  But this may not be really Ada....

When one tries to deal with representing geometry and solve
differential equations and following some mathematical
notation, one may want to visit subsets of elements in arrays ?
(Though, those examples may be odd and based on "thinking Fortran"....).
