There is a case when you need directories, that is OS/Debugging support.
Usually I have files with the same names containing OS-dependent
implementations selected by a GPR scenario variable.

What the use of them then? Except for backup which stores the whole file
system anyway, the version control system must know Ada in order to build
release versions, build and run automatic tests. The pretty printer must
know it to be pretty, grep (or some more decent thing) must know Ada in
order to search Ada sources by contents.

Right, that is why IDE must know Ada.
