Somebody on comp.lang.fortran noticed these two lines in an Ada snippet
and questioned why both lines were needed (vs. only USE in Fortran).

>with Ada.Numerics.Elementary_Functions;
>use  Ada.Numerics.Elementary_Functions;

I, with two whole weeks of Ada experience, understand the difference
(sorta) but don't really understand the rationale.  Would anybody care
to explain the why of it?  Thanks.
