Semantic coupling is (I think) a strict subset of compile-time coupling. How
big a subset is what matters.

What would semantic coupling that lacks a syntactic* representation look
like in Ada [with at least a smidgeon of wise & good, I hope]-or in C++ for
that matter [worse, I suspect])?
* and thus doesn't appear in compile-time coupling, which is what we have
discussed so far
