They are unnecessary, add no expressive power to Ada, and will look really
ugly if (when?) "with type" is added to fix the mutually recursive package
spec problem. I find the idea of "special casing" the operators inelegant;
if anything I'd prefer that operators and functions were more alike and
that one could define new infix operators.

Regular "use" clauses, inside of declarative regions to limit their scope
if one is worried about not being able to tell where a definition comes
from. I am not a use-phobe, though I understand that one should be careful
with use clauses (and aliasing, and overloading, and access types, etc.)
