Sound like it has been proposed before but it was rejected. Frankly, I have never submitted any change proposal before. Thus, it may be a big task for me. However, I am willing to send in the change proposal for the next Ada revision if needed.
This reminds me the time when I first study Ada in earnest. After the first look at System.Bit_Order type from reading Mil-Std 1815-A, I thought it was used to handle Endian feature. But it did turn out the way I thought. Now more than 20 years later, GNAT-7.1 could be the first compiler to implement it.
