Good point.

It would be a lot of work, but inlined subprograms might do the job?

With GNAT, you can use high optimisation levels and -gnatn (-gnatN?) but
I've found you need to be more selective (increases code size, often
slows the executable). Use pragma Inline_Always (a GNAT special), not
just Inline.
