Thanks. This fixes the only annoyance that I had with 5.0.0, that a
'procedure' would be indented too far if it followed a function
with a parenthesized body (that wasn't on the same line as its
'function').

It requires me to update my hack to ada-mode though, previously to the
ada-adjust-case-interactive function. I changed that function so that
I could type

  words-like-this with-dashes as-the-alternative-is-actually-painful

and get

  Words_Like_This With_Dashes -- etc.

My hack wasn't very robust. It just inserted _ instead of - if the
previous char in the buffer was some kind of [[:alpha:]]
