The flow error was easily worked around

Good point for that case! Thanks

In the real world now: I understand your point about what a SPARK progra=
m  =

is really. But do you see a reason why SPARK should disallow defensive  =

programming ? (forget about the suggestion to handle empty array in SPAR=
K,  =

this was silly, but defensive programming may not be)
