Actually we find that it is address clauses (now
semi-legitimized for overlay purposes in Ada 95, though
they were widely used that way in Ada 83, even though
erroneous) that are the most frequently abused unsafe feature.
We even find examples like
X : Integer;
Y : Integer;
for Y'Address use X'Address;
where a renaming would be just as good, but people get so in
the habit of using this low level tool that they overuse it :-)
