Note as an interesting postscript to this discussion of enforced coding
styles, that a very common request for enhancement of GNAT is an official
feature similar to -gnatg.

Indeed, quite a few of our customers are using -gnatg even though we advise
against it (we advise against it, becuase (a) it makes the compiler 
non-standard, e.g. allowing compilation of new children of Ada and (b) we
feel free to change this at any time, typically by adding new requirementsw
which you might or might not like)).

We definitely plan some limited capability of this type for style enforcement
available as a user capability in the future.

Note that you can also use external tools, such as AdaAssured to do this
kind of style checking.
