Yes. One of the reasons is size of debugging information. With Ada,
it's pretty large.

Thanks. Checked in with the changes you requested (renaming the new
function, moving it up, and making the spelling corrections).
Although ``a "unimp" instruction" seem more natural to me, I did
follow your recommendation. It's easy to change it back if it turns
out one day that the use of "a" in this case is more common than
the use of "an".
Thanks,
