Do remember, as has been frequently discussed here, that C++ templates
let you do things like define dimensioned objects that require zero
runtime overhead in either time or space and implicitly instantiate
themselves only for the units actually needed. This is far beyond what
Ada generics can do. The whole area of template metaprogramming is
unavailable to Ada as well.
