What are you saying is clutter here? Using either pragma
in this case? If so, you are definitely wrong. Without
either of these two pragmas, the code is illegal in the
context say of the GNAT library which can only be compiled
with -gnatg, so you MUST use one of these two pragmas. I
hope no one thinks the gnat run time library should be
independent of GNAT :-)
