I just installed it and it seems nice. Do you have any interest in
support the SPARK specific aspects? Also I see you are colorizing Pre
and Post aspects (for example) but it doesn't seem to work in the case
where those aspects are introduced on separate lines such as:

   function ModSubtract (L, R : Very_Long) return Very_Long
      with
         Pre  => L.Digit_Length = R.Digit_Length,
         Post => ModSubtract'Result.Digit_Length = L.Digit_Length;

I notice you have a feature where it will bring up the Ada Reference
Manual in info format. Only that doesn't work for me because I don't
have it in that format. Is that available somewhere?

BTW, I'm on Windows using Emacs 24.2.1
