That's misleading, the GNAT IDE does indeed use all the
information generated by the compiler, and can do exactly
the same kind of navigation that APEX does. Note that this
is ONLY achieved when GNAT is the compiler used by EMACS,
it is not available when other compilers, e.g. Rational,
are used with EMACS.
