I don't think I've seen anything in recent years that actually provided
syntactic extensions to the language. Virtually all "extensions" have
been in the form of either pragmas or packages. However, I seem to
recall an early version of the RR compiler that provided some syntactic
extensions in the area of I/O because generic packages were not yet
implemented. If memory serves, early versions of the Telesoft Ada
compiler did something similar. (And I'm still holding a grudge against
that compiler for a whole variety of reasons. I'll bet I'm not the only
one! ;-)
But the important thing to note is that neither of those compilers had
been validated and they were very careful not to actually call
themselves "Ada" directly to keep from violating the trademark.
