As another solution which isn't perfect either, I use
something like

  pragma silent(Trace.Error("a", "b", "c"));

While this line needs preprocessing (or SCM) when the call is to become
a call, a pragma is within the Ada language. You might get additional
warnings from the compiler, but you don't get any code, i.e. any overhead.
