I don't know which is odd-man-out, but it is a royal pain that in Ada
mode C-c C-c means 'compile' (in some way or other), while in C or C++
mode it means 'comment out the region'.

Personally I don't mind who becomes the main ada-mode maintainer, but
with my unsupported hat on I wouldn't like to wait another 12 months
or more for ACT's 3.2 ..
