See AI12-0061-1. It was considered too big a change to put into the 
Corrigendum, else you'd already have it. The original proposal was part of 
Ada 9x, but it was one of many "nice-to-haves" that got dropped in the 
"scope reduction". And we didn't think of it again until it came here in 
2013 (causing Adam to formally propose it on Ada-Comment).
