Well you sure take a shaky place to make the no-use-clause stand. I find
it hard to imagine that anyone would think that it made the GNAT soures
clearer to do a global replace of Parent with Atree.Parent. Given that
the whole of GNAT is about tree processing, and the Parent function is
truly fundamental, this seems silly to me.
