    In a program or subprogram body in Ada, you ave three sections
separated by the following lines:

declare,

begin,

exception.

    The last section, which is optionnal, is where you decide what to
do with exceptions, either cure the problem, print some smart
information, convert it to another exception and forward it to the
caller, or what else.

    After the "begin" and before the "exception" or the "end", is where
the normal algorithm happens. In this part, you don't care about
exceptions, except you can raise some, of course.
