Maybe, but it got very confused in the design into serving
multiple purposes, related to distribution and dynamic
elaboration checking.
We added a restriction identifier to GNAT
pragma Restrictions (No_Elaboration_Code);
which achieves what Tuck talks about in a much more direct
manner without getting tied up in these other entanglements.
This pragma is both more and less restrictive than pragma
Preelaborate.
