The problem with the normal ICE message is that it does not provide
helpful information about where exactly the error is coming from.
GNAT provides the exact location (including column) and also provides
information about which instantiation of a generic triggered the bug.
This additional information is very useful for users to work around
problems in the front end, or for developers to trim down a testcase.
