Maybe there are some traces of this idea in GCC/GNAT for .NET/.GNU/.WHATEVER?
(I'm guessing this because much in .NET is about extensible types with
operations as part of a common language infrasructure. So if GCC is
enabled to build type information for MSIL (?), the information needed to
generate Ada bindings should be right there.)
