I think so, it's by far the most common case, and it is a pity to take a hit
in the normal case in Ada just so that a pathological case in C can be done
right :-) Actually even in C, you can often tell that the bad case is impossible.

P.S. The language is Ada, not ADA, it's a woman's name. ADA is the Americans with
Disability Act (among others) and there is a great poster of Clinton saying "I want
you to pay attention to ADA!" :-)
