I have a general question. Does anybody use abort and asynchronous transfer
of control?

After all, there is no chance to have them reasonably working anyway. The
notorious example from ARM 9.7.1:

select
   delay 5.0;
then abort
   Get_Line (...);
end select;

has good chances not to work.

How about to remove that stuff altogether and make a far more important
finalization right and fast?
