Val -- this is not an answer to your question, but a request for a little more
'context' [8*) on the original post.

I can understand the discouragement of 'use' for context clauses, though we
steered a middle ground in our group, trying to achieve readable source by
meaningful names and judicious 'use' context clauses.

We also have extensive memory-mapped, heterogeneous I/O to work with.  Is there
some alternative to 'use' in a representation clause?  Are the no-'use' 
switches in the editors smart enough to know the difference?

Thanks --jmm--
