It's fine, but supported only by Gnat. Actually, one of the implementations of OS_Services is built on top of these packages.
Also, OS_Services is intended to be flexible and extensible, i.e. allow you to benefit from OS pecularities, while still providing a
hard kernel of operations that work on every OS. The way it is designed, if you try to use a feature that is not available on your
OS, the program will simply not compile. (Put it the other way round: if it compiles, it works). And it avoids the "least common
denominator" problem when you want a portable interface.
