Re: Preventing warnings

Note that the Warnings On/Off in GNAT works on syntactic positions
of flags, not on some concept of semantic construct. Warnings On
sets a starting source location, Warnings Off sets an ending
source location, and any warning posted at a source location in
this range is suppressed.
That's rather different from trying to apply warnings off/on to
a particular construct.
