Ada code intended to interface to directly to C often tends to look like
C - that is, it's ugly, range checking has to be turned off, and so on.
That's why thick bindings like Claw are so important - they hide that
cruft from view so that the majority of your program actually can
benefit from Ada. If you let the C interfacing stuff spread across your
program, you have gained nothing by using Ada.
