something that was specific to GtkAda? ...>>
Absolutely. This is a fascinating issue. I thought about it when I wrote here before, but kept silent. But now that you've touched it, I'll add a bit. A *lot* of Ada libraries, including already standard ones (e.g. ASIS) and upcoming standard (e.g. Directory_Operations), deal with a lot of data structures, and so they should be using the standard for that (Ada.Containers, also upcoming, AI-302). The result would be clearly a good thing, more cohesion both in the standard and in applications. This is motivation number 1 for Ada.Containers in my paper in Ada-Europe 2004 (about persistent containers, but touching the general issue in passing).
