Hum, why doesn't GNAT take advantage of implementation permission
RM95-A.15(21) :
"(21)
An alternative declaration is allowed for package Command_Line if
different functionality is appropriate for the external execution
environment."
Of course the choosen solution promotes portability (visible non
uportable feature) and I agree with this point of view. But may be if
all vendors agree on the specification ...
BTW, why such a feature wasn't added directly in Command_Line ?
