Hm, I dunno.. it seems like you'd be losing a lot for a relatively small 
gain in compilers -- not a whole lot of compilers went to Ada 2005 as 
compared to 95. So /that/ would likely be a better pack-port language... 
though for full Ada-generality backporting the interface all the way to 
Ada 83 (so you could feed it to DEC Ada and such).

...But this brings up an interesting point: it should be possible to 
automatically generate Ada 83 specs that bind/link to the Ada 2012 
compilation objects, which would give you the best result in terms of 
keeping the source at the current standard and providing means for using 
them in prior versions.
