Hmm, maybe this should be in comp.compilers....

This question is for the Ada compiler creators.  When a compiler doesn't
support a particular annex, do the structures in the annex still have to
be parsed?

If the answer is yes, then someone moving to a compiler without the
annex could get a "construction from an unsupported annex" error.  This
would seem to be the best answer.

If the answer is no, then someone moving to a compiler without the annex
would get a generic "syntax error" when using code that utilizes that
annex.  That would seem very rude.

At least, if an annex is unsupported, are the keywords from that annex
still reserved?
