We tried to define such things for Ada 2005, but gave up because the 
description was necessarily in terms of Windows or Linux, and that's not 
appropriate for a target-independent programming language. I believe there 
were some other technical issues as well (one would have to look up the 
minute of the meeting(s) that discussed AI95-0371-1, there isn't much in the 
AI or it's mail).
