Whether Adam was being sarastic or not, note that this semantics was totally 
rewritten after Amendment 1 was finished. And Adam is reading the new, much 
clearer text (that's relative, of course); the old text left so many 
questions unanswered that we gave up and started over. (Bob did much of the 
heavy lifting on that.)

Summary: He's looking at the draft Ada 2012 standard and not the Ada 2005 
one. Ada compilers are supposed to follow the new wording (it is a Binding 
Interpretation -- essentially a bug fix to the Standard), but there is no 
reason to assume that they do.
