The "use" can be in any declarative place in the code. Sometimes it is practical to have it locally, for instance if you are using both Text_IO and Stream_IO but not at the same places.
You can also "use" a package you just defined a few lines above, or a nested package. In this case there is no library-level package to "with".
If "use" implied "with", there would be sometimes more ambiguities to sort out (on "use A, B", B could then mean a library-level package called B, or A.B (a child or a nested package of A). Ouch!

That being said, I find a "with then use" clause would be useful.
