Ada Nouveau, Ada'Succ, HyperAda, or whatever its name would be needs both A=
da's current syntax as well as a C-esque syntax mapped isomorphically as a =
per-programmer preference, normalized at check-out from and check-in to rep=
ositories much the same as tabs/spaces conversion or LF/CRLF line terminati=
on conversion.

To that end, both syntaxes of the same language each need their own distinc=
t name.  Given that A and D are hexadecimal digits, this lends itself nicel=
y to:
1) the successor-to-Ada with the current syntax would be called Ada#16 (pro=
nounced Ada hex)
but
2) the isomorphic mapping to C-esque syntax would be called 0xAda (pronounc=
ed hex Ada).

And Luke can call them 2778#10 and 2778 if he likes to eliminate the name A=
da by converting to base 10.
