That sure is one of the big points.  I never expect to use that feature 
though.  To me the benefit is that some things are easier in Python and 
others are easier in Ada.  Ada code runs a lot faster than Python code.  
And I truly dislike C's loose manner with type casts.  (The pointers are 
also a real nuisance ... I prefer to use safe arrays.  Etc.
