This will also make any other declarations within Ada.Characters visible.
(It happens that the only such declaration is the child package
Ada.Characters.Handling, and that only if you "with" it.)

If that's what you want to do, that's fine.  Another way to do this is

   with Ada.Characters.Latin_1;
   ...
   package Latin_1 renames Ada.Characters.Latin_1;

(I'm not trying to start another use clause flame war, just pointing
out an alternative.)
