	GNAT implementation turns the OS filesystem into the "database" defined
in the APSE requirements

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APSE
http://www.adahome.com/History/Stoneman/stoneman.htm

	As a side-effect, it requires that files containing multiple units be
split (gnatchop) so that the unit names become entities in the filesystem.
cf: 4.A.3; this then permits gnatmake and the compiler to locate units when
referenced (with'ed). For a system to fit the APSE requirements yet allow
multiple units within a file requires some other meta-data to be maintained
somehow so that the tools of the APSE can find the correct file given just
the entity name.
