This is true, but I like to keep all the compiler-created stuff out of
sight.

Only one problem with that: that's where the executables get created! so
I'd say

   for Object_Dir use ("obj");
   for Exec_Dir use (".");  -- the same directory as the project file

NB Alire likes to use

   for Exec_Dir use ("bin");
