Why? That's how it's done in Ada. The Janus/Ada compiler has literally 
thousands of trace messages like the above (we have a fancy menu system to 
turn them on and off on the fly in test versions of the compiler), and I 
don't think that they have much impact on readability.

Besides, if you're going to be writing Ada, you're going to be writing code 
that's more verbose (in many ways) than C-family languages. It might take 
some getting used to, but there is no time better than the present to 
getting used to that.
