Nifty. I came across your blog a while back as I was looking up some
Ada 2005 features (thank you for your explanation, in particular);
it's pretty good, IMO. If you'd like to pop me an e-mail or IM and
talk-shop about OS/OS-design I'd be more than happy to do so. {The
same goes for everyone else who's interested.}
