 Historical note:  In Ada 83, implementation-defined pragmas were forbidden to
 affect legality in either direction.  The intent in Ada 95 was to weaken this
 rule to only forbid pragmas that make an otherwise-illegal program legal, and to

 is the more important goal, namely that the program remains syntactically legal
 for implementations that don't recognize an implementation-defined pragma.
 
 Note that we retain the Requirement of a warning on unrecognized pragmas.
