Yet Ada allows having a library of packages, like DEC Ada had. Your 
examples are related to GNAT, which intentionally uses no such library 
and deploys plain files instead. C++ on its part could not have a 
library. Precompiled headers is no substitute, even if they worked.

P.S. I agree that Ada has issues with separation of implementation and 
interfaces but these are minor comparing to C++.
