Speaking as the ada-mode author, if you have a use case for an ada-mode
function that should work this way but does not currently, please report
it as a bug (either in debbugs or on the ada-mode mailing list).

Other packages should also treat such use cases as bugs.

On the other hand, if you are using non-autoloaded functions from some
package in your own code, then your code should be in a file with the
necessary "requires" at the top.
