This is a good thing. A few years ago I had to compile a bunch of
source code into a shared library, and we were using GNAT to do this.
So as not to interfere with the calling program's own adainit and
adafinal functions, I had GNAT generate and retain the source code for
those functions, manually renamed them, then compiled them into the
library. Glad to see that this situation has been recognized, and can
be handled more cleanly.
