That sure is one of the big points. I never expect to use that feature
though. To me the benefit is that some things are easier in Python and
others are easier in Ada. Ada code runs a lot faster than Python code.
And I truly dislike C's loose manner with type casts. (The pointers are
also a real nuisance ... I prefer to use safe arrays. Etc.
