Making such a suggestion in comp.lang.ada will have zero effect, as few
ACT personnel peruse this newsgroup with any regularity.  And as Robert
Dewar was wont to say, "We don't take suggestions from public
newsgroups!"

Anyway, the gnatstub sources are readily available, modify it to
generate the output you desire.

(I do think it would be useful to have gnatstub operate as you suggest,
though perhaps make it selectable via a command-line switch, e.g., 
-gnatharsh.)
