Well, interesting. And No, I don't know the reason - the language lawyers
will tell you soon.

However from a practical point of view: You should not define your own
operators unless you also define your own type as well. So consider :

type My_Float is Long_Float;

function "+"(X, Y : My_Float) return My_Float;

and then a 

use type MY_OPERATORS.My_Type;

And writing package name all upper case is out of fashion for at least 10
years. Actually: Writing anything all upper case in Ada is out of fashion
since the introduction of Ada 95. You can do it if you like but it is realy
un-cool ;-) .
