You more than welcome - Matt has just fixed the Ada.Containers.Ordered_Sets,
so look out for an update of that real soon. :-)

Do you mean the Ada.Assertions package? Or all the packages? If you mean the
Ada.Assertions package then they give you exactly what the AI requires. If
you
want a message then use the overloaded subprogram that has the "Message"
parameter.

For Ada.Directories.* I did add quite a few with messages and hopefully they
are helpful. I think the rest are pretty bare in the exception message
department
but I've got time(!) I'll go back and add some where I can.
