And I'd hope we could keep things that way for both C and Ada, but make
similar modes to the Ada ones available for C (with Ada treating the
common compiler options as synonyms for the the existing Ada options).
In fact I'd hope we could get Ada using the shared diagnostic
infrastructure, i18n support etc., but realise that's a lot of work (a lot
needed doing just to get *almost all* C diagnostics in suitable shape for
i18n) and might have issues with using the same Ada sources with different
compiler back end versions.
