Since this bug will be done and redone by every single Ada95 beginner
we ought to treat it specially in GNAT. I don't see a significantly
better error message that would solve the problem so maybe what we
could do is to add an additionnal message:
See file "Gnat_Common_Mistakes" paragraph "inheriting functions"
and provide some more detailed explanation on this problem in the
specified file. How does it sound?
