While reading up on VHDL I found out about its user-defined attributes and =
got to wondering why Ada doesn't have them. I can see how restricting them =
to those defined in the standard can keep the code "clean" and certainly [m=
ostly] uniform... though the allowance of implementation-defined attributes=
 undermines the last portion of that argument. -- Does anyone know?
