GNAT does allow this, but then Standard is a package that you defined like so:
package Standard is
....
end Standard;
This is of course very bad because it hides the name of the predefined package Standard. Thus, if you haven't defined such a package Standard, GNAT refused a with clause beginning with Standard.
(Visibility rules in context clauses are a bit different from the rest of source code.)
