Very interesting. Since this is an issue where the code needs to be
processed in its source form, you don't have many options. From the Ada
paper I read there, it appears that a Fortran tool like Mothra would not
be sufficient for Ada source code in the general case.
Since Mothra made it as a graduate project, I suspect something similar
for Ada (Gamera?) would also be a good graduate project for someone.
