Well, I do :). It occupies an honored spot on my bookshelf, within
handy reach. The drab green cover contrasts nicely with the gaudy
"Accelerated C++" book; I like function over form any day :).

The cover says "REFERENCE MANUAL FOR THE Ada PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE".

So RMAPL might have been the most appropriate acronym, but that could
have refered to "APL", that wonderful language from IBM.

Actually, it has "ANSI/MIL-STD-1815A Ada Reference Manual" on the left
page header, and the chapter title in the right top margin.


I propose a standard jargon: "Ada LRM" means the Ada language
reference manual, "C LRM" means the C language reference manual, "Foo
LRM" means the Foo language reference manual, etc.

How do we propose that to ISO :) ?
