Right.
But of course supporting the Ada standard is optional, too. ;-)
It's easy to forget that standards don't actually _require_ anybody
to do anything. So, unfortunately, the best you can be sure of is
"probable" portability.

I don't know much about JGNAT. I think it doesn't support some
things that are "impossible or impractical" (see AARM-1.1.3(6)),
given the limitations of the JVM.
