Re: [RFA]: Turn on Ada support

Eli,

Thanks for your comments.  I have adopted most of them.  Comments on your 
comments follow.

In that case, I think I'll just remove these stubs.  They're easy enough
to insert when implemented.

A function name.  I take it "function or file @var{B}" is too terse for you?

Actually, we'll remove this, because it isn't yet implemented and its syntax
going to be changed anyway.

OK, but I am not sure what editorial comment you are implying with the
word "verbiage" (:->).

Umph.  The problem is that @code{'Address} generates `'Address' in Info files,
which looks odd.
