I was wondering if it is a usual practice to make a record tagged so 
that it is possible to call procedures as object.procedure instead of 
having to write package.procedure( object ).
I know that there is a slight overhead involved with the tag but it 
would certainly be easier. Is this a common practice or not?

Thanks
