The overhead is not only computational, I fear: if programmers
are forced to specify the unit of each of their variables
with a possible physical meaning, they just won't program in
Ada...
Where is the problem, indeed ? Mixing feets and meters in a
program ? This is more a political or cultural problem, I
wouldn't wish to complicate Ada with it...
