In case anybody is starting a voting process on this, I am in the
<randhol+news@pvv.org> group of hoping that specific platform needs
are NOT incorporated into any new language standards.

Let the market decide on useful *external* libraries, but do not
burden the language itself with items possibly subject to fashion
or politics.

Eg, Sockets : Windows has an API for sockets, the rest of the world
has another. I would not like for Ada, a few years from now, tied
to the obsolete socket API when the politics gets sorted out and
one API is accepted by all. Also especially since the abstract concept
of "sockets" might have changed altogther and be called "connection" or
"channel" or something.
