No, it doesn't look better, at least to me.
(OK, this is a 5-liner; consider a 'real' program.)

Having been working on large-scale Ada projects for years, I have learned

As a consequence, I always try to find package names that create good-looking,
meaningful compound names when used in dot notation ("<pckg-name>.<proc-name>").
