It's much more than a "hint". It also controls which entities *can be*
visible in a particular unit. Otherwise, it would be necessary for a
compiler to load the universe into its symboltable -- and then it would be
impossible to determine if any program is legal or not. (Because you could
make almost any program legal by just saying that the universe includes more
stuff).
So the main function of "with" is to limit the universe of symbols that can
be referenced in a program. Besides implementation issues (what to load into
the symboltable for a particular compile), this also has an impact on
legality.
Randy.
