How about a small sort contest. Suppose you want to write an Ada sort with
the spec:

	type x is array (integer range <>) of integer;
	procedure sort (data : in out x); -- sorts into ascending order

What's the least number of Ada tokens (counting from the IS to the semicolon
following the END) that implements this spec?
