This is what I thought; Ada standard or not, there are means
to use C++ classes in Ada programs, using GNAT, and AFAIK,
ObjectAda compilers. Maybe similar facilities could be used
to use Fortran's polymorphic entities?

Will Fortran programmers be interested in Ada like tasking
or resource sharing facilities?
