Hello,

I don't understand why this is failing to compile.  I don't understand the rationale for the failure above all else:

with Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random;
...
Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random.Reset(Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random.Generator);

And this is the error that I get:
:13:15: invalid prefix in selected component "Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random" -- refers to the first Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random...

The Ada documentation says that Discrete_Random has a Reset function, so why the error?
https://www2.adacore.com/gap-static/GNAT_Book/html/aarm/AA-A-5-2.html

I think I'm grossly misunderstanding how I'm calling Ada functions inside of packages.
