That's correct. I like the GNAT method principally how it works with units. What I absolutely dislike is that (since Ada is case insensitive) they invent new unit and prefix symbols. Their dimensioned text output (they call it IO, which is a lie) is catastrophic. see
http://www.christ-usch-grein.homepage.t-online.de/Ada/Dimension/Physical_units_with_GNAT_GPL_2013-AUJ35.1.pdf

All this is corrected in my design. If these ideas could influence the GNAT method, this would be ideal. But there does not seem to be much interest in the method by their clients since nothing has changed since 2013.
