That update wasn't too hard. The function's now ada-case-adjust-interactive ,
and I just added an additional test before the T case

     ((and (eq lastk ?-)
           (save-excursion (ignore-errors (re-search-backward "[[:alpha:]]" (- (point) 1)))))
      (when ada-auto-case
        (ada-case-adjust lastk))
      (insert "_"))
