My understanding is that users are not allowed to make children of
language-defined units (eg: anything in Ada.*). That would allow you
visibility into the private section of any language-defined unit, which would
allow you to do unspeakable things.

I think Gnat does have a compiler flag to allow you to do it, but unless you
are working on a compiler extension, you probably shouldn't use it.
