Who said these where the defaults? Does the language
put them in for you? no. So they are not a default in
any way. You (and me really) just tend to think of
these as the default becuase of our history in other
langauges. For someone that used Ada day in and day
out these may not be a default at all. So just becuase
we think a certain way about a syntatic construct does
not mean it is an inherent flaw in the langauge.
