After thinking about it some more, I thought that it didn't make sense
for the behavior to be language-dependent. Another argument in favor
of making it consistent is that, long term, I want the code to be
merged, and having consistent behavior will of course help. So we
will have Ada be consistent with C/C++, and use "all" as the default
value.  This is a change of behavior for Ada users, but we all thought
that this is usually what the user wants, so it should be for the better.

This patch is withdrawn again, and a new one will be sent later.
