<<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.)

I actually think that this will *increase* maintenance efforts. Why?
Because now the generic part has to be reviewed and maintained by all
the front ends and furthermore changes to the generic part can only
be done by the small set of people (non empty???) who are appropriately
familiar with all the different front ends.
