There mere fact that something is under System ought to clue people in
that it might be system-dependent.  Plus maybe a comment at the front,
saying "Don't use this." or whatever (written in a way that makes it
visible despite the presence of all that copyright boilerplate!).

I wouldn't bother with extra pragmas and whatnot -- just more marginally
useful documentation for the poor user to read.  I wouldn't bother with
"private", either, since technically these are not private children of
System -- if they were, you couldn't refer to them from children of Ada.
