I think you may have a point there. Even so, it seems unexpected for
it to overwrite the input file .. and copying the casing of the
existing file name, rather than lower case, didn't help.

Well, I guess I was considering the whole galaxy of GNAT utilities --
whatever it is you run when you type C-c C-d (ada-goto-declaration)
certainly got confused for us, and the confusion went away when we
made the file names all lower-case.
