It begins to be clear that Joe is offering general advice across all
languages, rather than specific advice for Ada 95. In that context, his
otherwise surprising advice is not at all surprising, because it is
most certainly true that for other languages, his advice is appropriate.
I would guess that Joe has not used pragma Convention and the other
important features of Ada 95, and does not appreciate the extent to
which this problem has been successfully solved in Ada 95.
