The portability gained cannot be stressed enough, I think. When
a pragma identifier is known by two compilers that expect a different
argument list, chances are that you can no longer compile programs using
one of the compilers. (Pragma Unsuppress is currently one of them, pragma
Linker_Options should IMHO immediately be rubbed out everywhere and
replaced with proper project configuration files or similar.)

Abandon portability just for the luxury of not seeing a particular
warning with some versions of one Ada compiler? (A compile log without
warnings isn't necessarily an indication of a correct program, is it?)
