Maybe it would be better if there were another package hierachy in which language standardised packages are placed (other than Ada) allowing different companies/individuals to create these packages, rather than relying on compiler vendors to do the work (as is required by the Ada standard). If needed the packages could also be known in the Ada hierachy some time later via a renames. E.g. You could allow people to create child packages of Standard, (although given this is special cased by some compilers). Perhaps package Ada.Library could be seen as the extension point for packages specified by the language, but allowed to be supplied by the user. Dale
