I'm afraid its a quality-of-implementation issue, and that will require
pressure from user like you on vendors. Note that Matt is trying to improve
the checking in the "reference" containers implementation, so that should
help.

Unfortunately, its mostly in my head at this point. I have this language
standard to finish, you see, and its already late... (In case you don't
know, I'm the editor of upcoming Amendment, meaning I'm the one that takes
all of the scattered bits and puts them together into a hopefully coherent
language standard.)

Not at this point. It's part of the Janus/Ada compiler, which is not open
source today. Maybe at some point in the future.
