At this point I tend to just use 'Unrestricted_Access.

I've never quite understood the point of this facility, what's wrong
with

   begin
      --  do whatever should raise The_Exception
      Assert (C, False, "should have raised The_Exception");
   exception
      when The_Exception => null;
   end;
