Yes, I was actually in doubt about introducing such a special command as 
this myself, and an FTYPINFO command would be much better. We'd need to 
agree on the command syntax and the return format first, so I can finish 
multienum support in Gnatsweb (I did it based on the proposed FSEP command, 
but changing that shouldn't take many seconds). Do you think it would take 
long to actually implement the command?
