Why does GNAT have to provide anything beyond what the language
provides? It seems to me that you can easily use user-defined storage
pools to make this kind of self-cleaning heap. Are you just saying that
GNAT will provide such a thing in a library package? It doesn't seem
like any extra pragmas or options are needed.
