Well, actually, I understand that a similar problem came up recently (I 
think it was related to SPARK) and that the GNAT people had already hacked 
an ugly solution to it. A language-based solution would be better, at least 
if it's not too expensive to implement.

After all, two independent problems that can be solved with a relatively 
simple new feature make that feature more compelling. In any case, it's 
certainly OK for Simon to submit the problem; I've seen a lot sillier ideas 
than this one.
