Not only AdaCore could do that, also many others applications too
(whisper: unfortunately, the GPL and its assumptions does not help to go
this way). For GNAT $500 would be far too much for me. $100 would an
higher limit… while… well, with some effort, this could be feasible. I
would just require a single condition: the “synchronized interface” bug
fixed :D (I really hate this bug, as you guessed).
