<<My usual Ada83 way around this was to import the operator using a
renames clause.
i.e. function "+"(l,r : my_pkg.my_type) return my_pkg.my_type renames
my_pkg."+";
This allows the infix use of the binary operator. It is still clumsy
and not very pretty but it sure makes the body of the code read better.

You and x zillion other Ada 83 programmers, this is indeed an absolutely
standard technique among those who do not like to use "use".
And it is EXACTLY this stuff that "use type" was designed to consign to
the rubbish bin!
