The Beaujolais effect means different program behaviour depending on the absence
or presence of a use-clause.
The name derives from a wager (long ago in the Ada83 development days) about a
bottle of Beaujolais between Jean Ichbiah and someone else to give an example of
such an effect.
The bottle was won. I do however not know which the winning example was. Is
there anybody left to know?
