Because we read the RM, and try to follow it carefully :-) Read the implementation advice in 2.8(17-19): 17 Normally, an implementation should not define pragmas that can make an illegal program legal, except as follows: 18 A pragma used to complete a declaration, such as a pragma Import; 19 A pragma used to configure the environment by adding, removing, or replacing library_items. Since this pragma does neither, you are recommending a violation of advice in the RM :-) and we would have to document this in Annex M saying why we are doing it!
