Comment (by vanto):

 Here I am talking about library that are natively in the compiler, of
 course, such as
 {{{Data.Char}}}.
 The principle would be identical to the suggestion of the pragmas to be
 used which are stated in the error message by the compiler.\\
 This does not apply to library that are external to the compiler.
