I'm honestly not sure this would be a good idea...
In fact, given that Ada doesn't have an "exception hierarchy" like
Delphi does it may be a horrendous idea: There is no way to catch all
exceptions because there is no way to catch a  all exceptions of a
certain type (i.e. Storage_Error'Class) which is caused by the lack of
some root-type "Exception_Root."
