Eliminating it altogether, if possible, would be nice. I was coming from
the position that the restriction is necessary. If it's not necessary,
why do we have it?
However, I'm not sure that that the main subprogram's declarative region
is really such a weird place. Lots of people, including some with Ada
experience and knowledge of the restriction, assume that the main
subprogram is at library level (until their compiler tells them
otherwise and they post a message here asking why).

I hope that changes.
