But they're implemented with some sort of hidden allocation. (GNAT uses a 
"secondary stack", whatever that is, but that is just a restricted form of 
pool). Janus/Ada uses built-in pools with cleanup for all such things to 
simplify the interface (the code for allocations and stand-alone objects is 
mostly shared, both within the compiler and at runtime).
