Do you know one that does ? BTW I rather see a problem
in time. The expression =22(others =3D> (...))=22  is often built
in a nonoptimised manner, in an extra buffer, then copied in to Y.

But, it is not a portability problem : this feature *will work*
on any Ada compiler, although not too efficienty.
