It turns out that I'm coming out of this discussion in a state that is
surprisingly similar to that which I had when coming out of my previous
thread here (about S-expressions).

It looks like I'm too stupid to use Ada, so I guess I should rather keep
writing my crappy code in C and stop bothering people with my flawed
ideas.

Thanks a lot for all your comments, and I sincerely apologise for having
wasted so much of your time. I should have known I don't have what it
takes.
