A couple years ago the idea of adding such a pragma, albeit with some
other name, was submitted to the ARG, and there was some discussion on
it. It was ultimately rejected due to being, as I vaguely recall, of

(Though I think Randy B offered to implement it in Janus Ada if someone
would buy a copy of Janus and request that it be added. But that was then.)
