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.
