Why "unwise"? I agree it is unusual, but I find it is sometimes useful,
in particular to have subprograms which are children of packages but are
their own compilation units. In a layered architecture, such subprograms
are sort of in a layer between the higher layer that contains the
declaration of the parent package, and the lower layer that contains the
body of that package.
In language-lawyer terms, perhaps such subprograms are not really
"outside of packages", because child units are in some sense "inside"
their parents, but the child subprograms are not "inside" any package in
terms of source-code files.
