"Quite true.  Private parts are primarily an efficiency hack.  But this
change would be much more sweeping than my idea of allowing the private
part to have its own with_clauses.  (I think putting the with_clauses
inside things makes more sense anyway, independent of your idea.)"

Note that there is no requirement in Ada that the private part be in the
same file as the rest of the spec. 

Two things we have considered adding as options to GNAT, which are not
extensions, merely source representation issues, are to allow the 
private part to appear in a separate file, or to allow it to appear
in the body.

The one glitch, which is a little uneasy, and is where some language help
would have been nice, is if you could have with statements that applied
only to the private part.
