This is what I love about this NG. In the thread "A simple ADA puzzle", we
had an interesting and informative discussion of how a compiler should
handle a type whose objects may be billions of bytes long. Now in this
thread, we are having an equally enlightening discussion of types whose
objects are potentially zero bytes long. Looks like we have covered both
ends of the spectrum!
