I have a package which is a grandchild, and GNAT issues elaboration warnings
on its body, thus:

> with IOC.shift; pragma Elaborate_All(IOC.shift);
> package body IOC.shift.TR is
> ...
>    overriding
>    procedure Initialize (the_reader : in out IOC.shift.TR.device) is
>    begin
>       ...
>       open(...);
>       |
>>>> info: call to "open" during elaboration
>>>> info: implicit pragma Elaborate_All for "IO" generated
>>>> warning: "Initialize" called at line 31
>>>> warning: call to "open" in elaboration code requires pragma Elaborate_All
>>>> on "IO"
>    ...
>    end Initialize; ...
> end IOC.shift.TR;

The "open" operation it is complaining about is in the the IO package.

The ancestors of IOC.shift.TR begin thus:

> with IOC; pragma Elaborate_All(IOC);
> package IOC.shift is ...

and:

> with IO; pragma Elaborate_All(IO);
> package IOC is ...

How do I get rid of the warning?

I cannot put an explicit "pragma Elaborate_All(IO)" in IOC.shift.TR, because
it does not "with" IO.

Surely I should not have to "with" IO all the way down the parent/child
hierarchy? What am I doing wrong?
