I tried to find this AI, spent 30-40 minutes looking via the AI-Search but =
couldn't find it. / I'd like to add my idea on to it, as it seems a sensibl=

It's true that there has to be prioritization, but I think that this could =
be of great utility to users, allowing some significant simplification... e=
specially to GNAT projects which require an extra file for each [library-le=

I'll do it if I can find the AI.
