I agree. GNAT does provide a help, though, with the restrictions
pragmas:
pragma Restrictions (No_Implementation_Pragmas);
and
pragma Restrictions (No_Implementation_Attributes);
These are likely to be in the next version of Ada (see AI-257:
http://www.ada-auth.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/AIs/AI-00257.TXT ).
