This is a matter of taste of course, and there are many styles,
but this is the one I like least. I would prefer to see honest
full qualification, rather than cryptic abbreviations.
I have a package that only withs Ada.Text_IO, and the package defines
it's own put procedures. Instead of Ada.Text_IO.Put (...) (or Text_IO.Put)
I have a renames to ATIO which IMHO is readable (but mainly because
there is only one with).
I would think that the Ada heirachy could be renamed to shorter names
if...
there are very few withs in the unit
the contractions are standardized (first letter of each word in
a package name. e.g. Ada.Strings.Unbounded => ASU, Ada.Stream_IO
=> ASIO etc)
the renamings only occur within a unit, and not at the library level
without causing too much distress.
