Why this is in Ada 95 is an easy question to answer: it's analogous to
the Ada 83 rule, but extended to handle child packages.  Why it was in
Ada 83, I'm not so sure.  I guess the idea is that everything has to be
declared at some particular place in the program (and in these cases,
we're talking about *implicitly* declared), and given that, you have the
normal visibility rules for declarations.
