Well, I don't know what Ada does with PRAGMA exactly, but look at
these examples from Oracle:

http://psoug.org/definition/pragma.htm

You wouldn't *execute* those at runtime, but at least for some of
them, the runtime behavior would depend on whether or not they were
specified. It certainly seems possible that we might want to have
similar things.
