I think it is fair to ask whether Ada makes this goal too hard to achieve.
I think some things we came across (like the need of nested instnatiations,
when using an OO design; or the library level instnation needed if we want
to use Controlled) can't be solved nicely with Ada95. Maybe this can guide
some language changes.
In fact, the STL influenced the C++ design process too.
