..or in dealing with imported code and objects, which is what this case
is. A binding to some C facility like TCP/IP and sockets is going to be
chock full of addresses and/or Unchecked_Conversion's. (The "for
use at" overlay makes me wince a bit though).
The trick is to not export those ugly address-based interfaces past the
bindings.
