The GNAT compiler error messages are remarkably clear, but the GNARL
(i.e. runtime) "messages" (i.e. text messages associated with an
exception) are mostly non-existent.  For example, I think it would be
very nice to get the information that a certain Program_Error
exception was caused by a failed Accessibility_Check.

Are other compilers different in this regard?
