Why? They work perfectly well on Janus/Ada to this day. Such objects are
allocated to their actual size, as the declarations clearly imply was
intended. I believe that there were other Ada 83 compilers on which these
worked as well. The problem is clearly with allowing Ada compilers to not
implement the clear intent of the declarations!
