<<Does new ADA support a retention of local variables similar to Fortran's
"save" or C's "static" declaration?
In my last encounter with ADA, some years back, I found that to be a
rather crippling ommission and often working against the very principles
(encapsulation) it was supposed to champion.

I am afraid it was your lack of success in learning Ada that was the
source of the crippling rather than the language itself!!!
All versions of Ada have supported this in a straightforward manner. Merely
encapsulate the subprogram involved in a package, and then put the variable
in question in the package body. Problem solved!
