OK, so please list ONE specific case!

We seem to get from you this general diatribe on how difficult things are,
but it seems hard to get a specific example. In my experience many of the
"problems" that people have are not language problems at all, but simply
cases of people not knowing the language well enough. Yes, these features
are quite tricky to learn, but if you want to be successful in using Ada 95
for handling low level interfacing, then you have to learn and understand
the features in Ada 95 that accomplish this.

So, please give ONE example from your "lot of little things", we will settle
for not having the complete list if it is so long!
