The core tool is probably best written in Ada using ASIS; it would be
somewhat similar to Auto_Text_IO. Emacs ada-mode and GPS could provide
user interfaces to the tool, but it would really need to be run as
part of the build process (from a makefile).
Hmm. That would imply that the inquiry functions where in a child
package; no problem if they don't need to be dispatching.
