The 2017 preview also has selected Ada 2012 features [very selected: hardly 
anything got finished in the 2017 development cycle, but the groundwork for 
a lot of things was laid].

The primary reason we haven't done more is limited development resources; 
building big compiler features can take a large amount of development time. 
I suspect that is true for many of the Ada compiler companies.
