Not correct. Me, my friends and my colleques _always_ use "IMPORT x;
x.<anything>".
But - mostly, because the original standard from N. Wirth did offer only
the "IMPORT x;" or you would have to mention _everything_ "FROM x IMPORT
a,b,c ...". There was _no_ "IMPORT ALL x;" in Wirths definition.
What I most miss in Ada is the "ARRAY OF BYTE" procedure parameter,
which catches up _any_ actual parameter. Especially for communication
routines (files, serial, ip) I liked it.
Sometimes even an SET type would be nice.
