Well, a specific section for Ada is fine.

However, in that case we should split the current instructions into a
generic part/generic parts, applicable to all frontends, and a part
applicable to the non-Ada front ends and not add duplicate information.

(I'm very worried about duplicate information because this has often
caused maintainance issues in the past -- and most of the time it was
me who had to fix that.)

Nothing personal or GNAT releated! ;-)  (And sorry for mispelling GNAT!)
