3. type T is interface;

>>> missing "new"
5 lines: 1 error
End of compilation
In this case the compiler doesn't detect that interface is a
reserved word in Ada 2005 (nothing wrong here, as -gnat05 hadn't
been given). It does detect this though, when for example T is
declared to be a limited interface:
type T is limited interface;
3. type T is limited interface;
|
>>> abstract interface is an Ada 2005 extension
>>> unit must be compiled with -gnat05 switch
Likewise, for the semi-garbage input
package LIp is interface
1. package LIp is interface
|
>>> warning: "interface" is a reserved word in Ada 2005
>>> declaration expected
It would be nice if GNAT could issue a similar warning when
"interface" appears after plain "type T is".

Summary: without -gnat05, GNAT warns that interface is new kw,
but misses one frequent occurence
