Actually, I have used pragma Elaborate(_All) maybe three times since
1983. I have always let the compiler figure out an elaboration order,
which turned out to be just fine in almost all cases with DEC Ada,
Verdix and GNAT. I know this approach is not striclty portable, but I
don't care and I still think that some minimal automatic elaboration
order generation should be in the language standard (see my thesis).
