Apropos of this, I recall more than one thread here on c.l.a where
Robert Dewar says that one can legitimately make "ordinary platform"
assumptions when programming in Ada. That is, one does not read the
A.R.M. or treat the compiler as if they are the enemy and thwarting
you at every turn. Conceivably a compiler for any language can be
implemented to stick to the letter of its Standard but still be as
useless as possible, but then you have the choice of not using it.
