I looked at this, but this doesn't really address the question.
This info talks about controlled types, adjust etc. and what
it should or shouldn't do, implementation details etc.

Perhaps I need to rephrase the question: If C++ proponents
thought it necessary (or useful) to include an assignment
operator, why was it that the Ada language (Ada83) was
developed without one? Can anyone answer this or point back
to early Ada discussions about this?
