OK, that's reasonable. But you have to realize that use type
was introduced into the language SPECIFICALLY for people who
reject the above solution. Since there are MANY such people,
there was a strong constituency for this feature. I regard it
as useless since I am quite content to use USE, but there are
many Ada programmers adamantaly opposed to even your limited
acceptable of use clauses.
