I need to correct myself on one point. Those of you with no interest
in Ada may want to skip this message.

Even Ada'83 had dynamic memory allocation. See for example
<http://archive.adaic.com/docs/style-guide/83style/html/sty-05-04.html#5.4.3>. Still,
I can see good reasons for avoiding dynamic allocation of memory in
typical Ada applications.
