It is of course provided in all versions of GNAT, so it is
fully portable across all GNAT platforms. Generally when we
make something a grandchild in Ada, rather than making it
a child of GNAT, we are suggesting that we think it is a
reasonable addition for other vendors to copy (this is much
more relevant than worrying about the next version of the
standard which, if it appears, is many years away).
