Not a bug to me, while I agree this is not expected: this is “not  
portable” instead. However, according to the Ada reference (somewhere at  
the beginning I remember), a compiler with specific added capabilities,  
must 1) inform about this none-standard feature 2) provide an option to  
run the compiler in strict standard mode. I read it two or three years  
ago, and I suppose this apply to standard packages too (it was about  
overall compiler requirements to be OK to be said “an Ada compiler”).

But this was not your main topic :p
