Hey, considering that Ada has every single language feature ever imagined,
and probably some that nobody reasonably _should_ have imagined, I'm not
surprised.

Too bad about the algol syntax and all the overkill features (hey, I think
C++ is complex, Ada is so far off the scale that it's not even funny). I'm
hoping C will steal the _good_ ideas from other languages (slowly, because
that's the only way to make sure they are good).
