I suppose most Ada programmers have at some time wished for an 'Image
attribute for records. And arrays.

Ada has essentially no means for run-time reflection, such as
programmatic access to the type structure of the running program.
The ASIS library provides off-line (post-compilation) access to such
information, and could be used to create source code for Image functions
for the record types, which could then be added to a recompilation of
the original program.

Regarding reflection it seems to me that C and Ada are equally null.
