I don't know if this was the reason, but AFAICS you can't "with" a
package inbetween a body, but you can locally *use* a package in a
declare block:

|declare
|   use P;
|   ...

So this sort of use would at least require a with-declaration in the
beginning of the package. CMIIW, but all the "with"s in the beginning
just declare package "dependencies", nothing more.
