But sometimes we have no choice, unfortunately
:-(

For C++ I come up with macros NEWTYPE(TypName,BaseType) and
SUBTYPE(TypeName,BaseType) that generate structure-envelopes with all
basic arithmetic overloads that somewhat mimics Ada typing
functionality.

NEWTYPE(X_Coord, float);
NEWTYPE(Y_Coord, float);

void Foo(X_Coord x, Y_Coord y);
