It's true that Unchecked_Conversion need not be implemented in Ada -- it
can be implemented however the compiler writer likes. But it's got
nothing to do with "intrinsic". Every feature can be implemented
however the compiler writer likes. For example, Text_IO.Put_Line, which
is not intrinsic, need not be implemented in Ada.
Intrinsic just means you can't do 'Access and similar things.
