I recall we considered this once, or maybe even twice. You can probably find
some discussion in the development of Ada 2005 (that is, in the Ada 95 AIs)
and the associated minutes. I don't really remember what the issues were and
I have too much to do today to spend time looking it up for you. Good
luck... - Randy

While reading up on VHDL I found out about its user-defined attributes and
got to wondering why Ada doesn't have them. I can see how restricting them
to those defined in the standard can keep the code "clean" and certainly
[mostly] uniform... though the allowance of implementation-defined
attributes undermines the last portion of that argument. -- Does anyone
know?
