Despite the hokey design it's a fully-functional Ada compiler that passes all
but a handful of the compliance tests and 100% of the basic compiler
functionality tests.
Anyway, I don't want to argue the toss endlessly. I'll find some other way to
do it entirely in the compiler sources, or not bother at all.
