True, but only on the body of the inlined or generic subprogram. The proposed
change would make compilation units dependant on every spec and body "with"ed
in every spec AND BODY (recursively). In my experience, package bodies tend to
have a LOT more "with"'s than specs. Compilations that now take hours might end
up taking DAYS!
Then again, I guess there is a limiting factor (ie: the total # of specs and
bodies in the system). This would just drasticly increase the % of
compilation units in the entire project that the average compilation unit
depends on.
