Yeah, but you can't easily tell what the name of the thing is, or
whether it's a package spec or body or procedure or whatever, because
there are 20 lines of with_clauses first. IMHO the *name* of the thing
is it's most important property, and should therefore come first.

Agreed. I really meant "inside, but right at the top". Similar to the
rule for where a pragma Pure goes. Or maybe with special syntax marking
that start and finish of the "imports part" or some such thing. Not
scattered all over in the middle of the package.
