Hi people,
I don't like when something does not behave as expected without an error
message, or the same, get silently ignored.
As an example, I just wanted to pass a `--target=…` option to GPRBuild in
the Builder package of a project file, but it was silently ignored. I
later noticed the documentation indeed list this as part of the options
that may only be passed to GPRBuild's command line, and not in project
files [1].
Now I know, but I still feel it would be better to get a plain error
message (and compilation failure) when an option is passed via the Builder
package which GPRBuild does not handle.
