Robert, you have a strange definition of "extension". I would say: This
*is* an extension to the language. Any Ada compiler can provide
extensions of this nature (additional useful packages). Other
extensions that are explicitly allowed by the RM are additional pragmas
and attributes. Most extensions are of course DISallowed by the RM.
To the Ada programmer, this thing is an extension, in the sense that it
provides functionality available on GNAT, which may or may not be
available on some other compiler. In practical terms, if you use a
different compiler, your program will stop working.
