Against.  Though not against specifying file content's
type and encoding!

Use extended attributes.  Available in all file systems
and archives in current use.

An Ada source file can contain multiple compilation units,
and pragmas; what do you suggest if a single file has a spec,
a body, a separate unit, and configuration pragmas,
i.e. a complete Ada program text?

That's why I'm against text/x-ada-*  A MIME type should
relate possible Ada content, not accidentals like a
correspondence between compilation units and files the
way a single compiler prefers.
