Sorry, Adam is right. A generic package is not a package (that's a standing
ARG joke, not one of the RM's finest hours of terminology). Context clauses
have their own, unique visibility rules defined in 10.1.6; you can't use
them as a counterexample for anything. There is a very complex rule that
allows you to say A.B there, because it normally would not be.
Interestingly, the Ada 95 standard did not allow naming a grandchild that
way (that is, A.B.C), which demonstrates how complex it is.
Randy.
