Such features are rumoured to be better supported by GNAT 3.11p, which
I hope will be out in just a few weeks. The ALI files have been
extended to contain the cross-referencing information necessary
to support for declaration finding without the use of an extra
cross-referencing tool as it is necessary at the moment for the
current Emacs Ada mode (see documentation).
