I don't know where suggestions should be made, but here is mine:

  function Full_Name (Name : in String) return String;
    Returns the full name corresponding to the file name specified by Name. 
    [...]

Should be *a* full name, since some systems (such as UNIX) doesn't have only
one name for a file (links).
Therefore, this function cannot be used to canonicalize a file name.
