actually

   return raise Program_Error with "Not yet implemented";

of course.

I liked (but haven't had reason to try; I had already spent far too long
generating "useless dummy return values") Bob Duff's recursive solution:

   function F return Boolean is
   begin
      raise Program_Error with "Not yet implemented";
      return F;
   end F;
