It is easy to imagine :-) in -gnatg mode (the mode we use
internally at ACT to enforce all sorts of style rules), GNAT
will say:

     1. with ADA.Text_IO;
              |
        >>> (style) bad identifier casing, should be "Ada"

This actually is a consistency check, and reflects our rule that
all identifiers must have the same case as the defining
occurrence which in this case is of course spelled properly!
