That's what I think; but there's also a surprising amount of it that's abou=
t sets, too. (Someone here on comp.lang.ada made a really convincing illust=
ration of how/where the language uses sets; I wish I could find the discuss=

The blog-post here http://blog.kickin-the-darkness.com/2007/08/fundamental-=

e Ada mindset.

?
