Hi Larry,
I, like you, failed to find any reference to this pragma in the Ada LRM. The
reason is...

It is very well described in the Gnat Reference Manual, as an
_implementation-defined_ pragma.
Hence, I presume,  the assertion that it is a Gnat specific pragma (unless
another vendor has also choosen to implement it??).

Its use may be a little worrying if you have portability issues to consider,
to target platforms not supported by Gnat.

Hope this helps,
Tom H.
