Yes, and that would be detected by the compiler:
function Integer (X : Float) return Integer;
which was contracted as exception-free on one platform will not be on
another. So the compiler would reject either its implementation that raises
Constraint_Error or else its use contracted as Constraint_Error-free. So
the idea.
(Contracted exceptions would mean a damn LOT of work for the compiler
vendors.)
