True, but one would hope that vendor-specific packages contained
comments explaining whether this is (1) a useful non-standard package
we're providing to users, vs. (2) an internal implementation-specific
thing that no user should ever "with".
This is particularly important for GNAT, since all sources are freely
available, including any implementation-specific gizmos that are not
intended for users, and that might change at the drop of a hat. I mean,
GNAT users are free to edit the compiler itself if they don't like the
language rules (and they're willing to expend the effort)!
