I've seen citations right here, actually, of conversions (from C, some
popular bitmap image handling package if I recall right) to Ada
actually finding bugs in the package simply due to the tighter
semantics of Ada... so in general (though admittedly perhaps not in
this specific case) the conversion can be quite valuable.
