  62    --  GNAT's Dispatch Table format is customizable in order to match the

  64    --  two different dispatch table format at the same time: the native
  65    --  format that supports Ada 95 tagged types and which is described in
  66    --  Ada.Tags and a foreign format for types that are imported from some
  67    --  other language (typically C++) which is described in interfaces.cpp.
