And except for "xor".  Also, I don't think "abs" is an English word,
although it does have a slang meaning that has nothing whatsoever with
its Ada usage.  "mod" and "rem" do appear to be English words
(according to m-w.com), but the meanings of those words again have
nothing to do with their usage in Ada.
