I don't know Brad, but it seems like your are missing the point that Robert is
trying to make - I think :).  The idea is that no matter what the source code
style looks like - within a reason of course - the pretty printer will put it
in one's own preferred form...

-- say Bozo Clown likes it like this:

        package CIRCUS is
            
            type FUNNY_THING is limited private;

            ...
        private
            type FUNNY_THING is record
                ...
            end record;
        end CIRCUS; 

-- but Fred Dweeb likes it like this:

        package Circus is
            
                type Funny_Thing is limited private;

                ...
        private
                type Funny_Thing is
                record
                        ...
                end record;
        end Circus; 

-- Well a sufficiently empowered (buzzword alert) pretty printer should be able
-- to accomplish this despite the fact that the original source was authored by
-- Joe Noindent Veryloud and it looked like this:

        PACKAGE CIRCUS IS
        TYPE FUNNY_THING IS LIMITED PRIVATE;
        ...
        PRIVATE
        TYPE FUNNY_THING IS
        RECORD
        ...
        END RECORD;
        END CIRCUS;
