No you're not the only one - if you look at the language design
discussions this was gone through.

Russ, you're really asking the wrong people here. What gets
said on cla doesn't matter squat. Now, if you were to submit
an "AI" via ada-comment (ada-comment@ada-auth.org), it
would get commented on by the people that matter - i.e. the
language lawyers, compiler vendors, etc.

But like I previously said - it's most likely too late to add to
the Ada0Y proposals - there are already a huge bunch of
enhancements on the list and apparently not all are going to
make it anyway.

But on the plus side the 'reduced copy' and 'matrix ops' will
hopefully make it.
