    Apparently the optimizers [could] assume that a reference type
    argument is never NULL.

Is this really correct?  If so, this has the potential of simplifying lots of
code in Ada if we use REFERENCE_TYPE for things that can never be null.

The CHAIN pointer of nested functions should also use it for the same reason.
