Thanks for the negative "today's positive number" example :).

I see that your examples may be looking at renaming the types of variables except in the 1st example.

If I use rename in a program, it is because I can have a general method of doing something plus some specific cases that require some changes in the general method. So I have e.g.

The file General_Method.ads as

With Specific_Case_A;
Package General_Method renames Specific_Case_A;
--With Specific_Case_B;
--Package General_Method renames Specific_Case_B;

Now I am thinking what I am really doing in my example: should it be package X renames Y or package Y renames X...whatever
