I am clearly in need of enlightenment, so please explain to me. After
you have decided that a given situation is impossible, will you
nevertheless add an error handler for that impossible situation, so
that if it happens anyway, you can recover gracefully? To what level
of detail and impossibility will you go? When you write Ada code, how
many exception handlers for Program Error do you put into your code?
