Actually, that's not strictly true. Pragma Export may be applied to any entity, including a package, an exception, a type, etc. However, support for exporting some of these kinds of entities is implementation-defined, and from a practical point of view, not many compilers support these kinds of exports. > > > > Maybe you mean "automatically apply pragma Export to everything in > > this set of packages".
