Oh, I DO so hate to rock the boat, but this statement is not true in
the case of Ada, in which the natural name of a type is not how it's
known to the linker.  

I don't see why "linkage names don't make much sense" anyway: the name
of a (C/C++) type is, indeed, what the linker sees.  The fact that it
happens to coincide with the natural name in the case of C types is an
interesting fact that, perhaps "should be shielded behind this macro".
