(defvar ada-block-start-re
(eval-when-compile
(concat "\\<\\(" (regexp-opt '("begin" "declare" "else"
"exception" "generic" "loop" "or"
"private" "select" ))
"\\|\\(\\(limited\\|abstract\\|tagged\\)[ \t\n]+\\)*record\\)\\>"))
"Regexp for keywords starting Ada blocks.")
It would not be worth any extra complexity just to avoid one call to
concat when the file is loaded. So even if eval-when-compile were not
a no-op here, I'd say take it out.
