Yes, quite correct, and quite a useful admonishment.  Too many folks
program by seeing what a particular implementation does, and then
assuming that's what all implementations will do!  I guess I'm off-topic
here, since this affliction is prevalent among programmers in just about
*all* languages, not particularly Ada.  Grump.  ;-)
