And this, surely, is the right answer. An Ada compiler does not
operate on files, but on compilation units. The association
between those units and entities in some other universe of
discourse is not the proper concern of the compiler, and the
knowledge, or partial knowledge, of the designations of those
entities ought not to be bound into it.
