The usual library unit name translation rules apply.  The declarations
gets the '.ads' suffix, and the completion (if necessary) the '.adb'
suffix.

(If you are not sure, you can put your source code into an arbitrary
file and process it with gnatchop.)

This depends on the compiler flags.  It is generally a good idea to
supply these declarations.

This seems to be a defect in GNAT.
