Ada95 question: renaming as body vs separate

Ada95 question: renaming as body vs separate

[Mark A Biggar]

Is reanming as the body of a subprogram allowed in the case of a separate
declaration.  E.G:

package foo is
   procedure bar;
end foo;

package body foo is
   procedure bar is separate;
end foo;

separate(foo)
procedure bar renames ...;

The reason I want this is that I have a GUI Builder that will generate
dummy (null; bodied) callback procedure in a package.  I can easily
get it to produce the string "is separate;" instead of the string 
"is begin null; end <some_name>;"  which allows for separate compliation
of the callbacks and no need to hand re-edit the callback package when
ever it is regenerated by the GUI builder.  Now there are cases where I want
exactly the same callback code attached to different callback entry points.
If renameing as a body works with separate then this is easy, otherwise I will
either have to duplicate code or have callback bodies that just recall another
routine.
