OK, but then you have a similar problem to Ada83's syntactically
unneeded bodies which Ada95 solved with a pragma.

How would you specify that there is a syntactically unneeded private
part (i.e. when there is no private type in the spec)?

I guess your ideas about specs, bodies, child packages and visibility
are very different from Ada as she is. You'd like a different girl,
wouldn't you;-)
