Parameter names can also be different in a subprogram rename, which can pose another problem.  The language rules would have to be written to allow the case you're interested in but disallow examples like mine.  Not easy.

Right you are. I'm afraid for/have to be careful not to make typo in renaming.

I think... in the case, human have not to write "renames" by hand. Actually, There are some typo in examples (including mine...orz) presented in this thread. :-)

"Integrated" nested packages proposed in AI05-0135 seems easy and good to me.

with XXX;
package YYY is 
   use package <Included_XXX> renames XXX;
end YYY;

with Small1, Small2;
package Large is
   use package <Included_Small_1> renames Small1;
   use package <Included_Small_2> renames Small2;
end Large;

Perhaps, it too makes large headers like Win32Ada more simpler.

As another solution, I have to remove "use type" from client code because "use" implies "use type". But I have to remove "use type" from other person's code...
