settings for GNAT's ASIS-based tools, and some IDE options. I don't really =
see any overlap with information I would want to put in source code. Other =
Ada implementations would benefit from something similar.

I have mixed feelings about gpr-files.
It would be interesting to have a DB-based system (or somesuch) where the s=
ource isn't stored as a simple text-file; though perhaps that would be a lo=
t of work for little payoff. (The library-system and ALI-files could be han=
dled in this manner though.)
