I have only started learning about Ada recently and have discovered the 'Image attribute that can be used on all types starting in ada 2022.
I am using Alire and added the following to include the `-gnat2022` switch.
```
for Default_Switches ("Ada") use Learning_Config.Ada_Compiler_Switches & ("-gnat2022");
```
The Alire documentation warns about switches ~"In general, this should be avoided to preserve consistency in the ecosystem"
Is this the correct way about adding this switch or is there a way to use a toolchain that already has it by default?

Not 100% sure what this means!

This works fine, but in your alire.toml you could say
[build-switches]
"*".ada_version = "ada2022"
or
[build-switches]
"*".ada_version = ["-gnat2022"]
See "Release Information" (near the end) and "Build Profiles and
Switches" in the documentation.

I see now, I think using "*".ada_version = "ada2022" is better for this case
