I would agree with that!

However the following may be of interest:

brian@linnet:~/projects/ada/bugs> gnat --version
GNAT 4.6.2 20111212 [gcc-4_6-branch revision 182222]
Copyright 1996-2010, Free Software Foundation, Inc.
...
brian@linnet:~/projects/ada/bugs> gnatmake test
...
gnatlink: warning: executable name "test" may conflict with shell command
brian@linnet:~/projects/ada/bugs> ./test
exception handled
brian@linnet:~/projects/ada/bugs> 

Not a whisper from finalization.
However it still doesn't flag Adjust as illegal.
