Re: Ada Java question => clarification

Dave Taylor says

<<I would like to make a case here for avoiding the "use" except in those
special locations where it otherwise obscures the logic (e.g.: evaluating a
complicated math expression). Even there, the "use" can be restriced to the
local block.

Speaking as one who has spent a lot of time modifying existing code, the
"use" can really confuse the issue.  Surely, more keystrokes cannot be that
big of a deal.>>

OH no! Dave must be new to the list! Please, let's not have another
use vs no-use discussion. People feel differently on this issue, the
arguments are well understood, the last N threads on this subject have
added nothing new to our understanding. Dave (or others interested). I
suggest you seek out CLA archives if you want to study the arguments on
both sides of this issue.
