A semantic tool, especially one using ASIS like AdaControl, can work
only on compilable compilation units. OTOH, you can apply AdaControl to
selected units, not necessarily a whole project.

My opinion is that if you modify a unit, then it's a good opportunity to
fix any violation to coding rules. So my recommandation would be to
include AdaControl in the process of entering a modified unit into the SCM.
