Just a minor point... as all packages are implicitly child packages of
Standard, you don't actually have to with Standard - just the use clause
will work.

We had a problem like this with some code at work...

package Icp_Button is
...
end Icp_Button;

package Icp_Button.Field is
...
end Icp_Button.Field;


package Field is
...
end Field;


Any reference to the package Field in Icp_Button.Field has to be qualified
with Standard.
OK, maybe the names of the packages were badly chosen, but we wont argue
about that....
