But it's not so easy to search through an Ada program to find all such
cases. Some of them are global properties of the program.
Of the two problems: programmers not knowing the language, and
programmers who do know the language making mistakes anyway, I think the
latter is the one to worry about most. The former can be solved by
education; the latter has no known (complete) solution.

I agree.
