<<It is not possible to easily port the GNAT Spitbol packages to any Ada 95
compiler which does not support the Unrestricted_Access attribute
(amongst others) or some similar functionality. Of course, since downward
closures are easily ;-) simulated by generics or objects, someone will
of course rewrite this in portable Ada 95 to prove me wrong.

In fact GNAT.Spitbol uses Unrestricted_Access in a pretty fundamental
way, having nothing at all to do with downward funargs!
