   Most compilers provided it, but it was not a required pragma.

   Note that this is technically still the situation in Ada 95.
Pragma Volitile is only required for compilers which support the
Systems Programming Annex.  (Of course, I can't imagine a serious
Ada 95 compiler not supporting it, even if for some reason they don't
support the entire SP Annex.)
