Common Error/Exception Handler

[John Cupak <jcupak@isd99.sanders.lockheed.com>]

I have observed that non-Ada programmers tend to create a "constant" error
number header file or package, and then use that constant to write/display the
corresponding error message. Ada programmers, however, tend to use "packaged"
exceptions, raise the exception where/when appropriate, and "handle" the
exception in an exception handler.

Wouldn't it be possible with the Ada 95 exception mechanisms to create a
package of standard exceptions and a common error message procedure,
import/rename the exceptions where appropriate, and let the common error
message procedure take care of the details? 

Inquiring minds want to know!
