This point is funny, because before I knew enough on Ada (and before I
started to experiment its tasking capabilities), I use to think tasks
was probably separate compilation units (I've understood it was not
when I've checked the syntax rules about it).

If it would have been, then this would also have seems intuitive.
But there again, this does not really break anything (IMHO)
