I think it's nice that Ada has reserved a number of short, expressive
words. Once reserved they are easy to reuse elsewhere when the language
is extended. I could imagine some future feature wanting to use 'some'
for some other purpose.

(or is that "wanting to use 'some' for when other purpose?") :)
