The problem is that there is nothing special about the main-program procedure. 
Specifically, it could be withed and called from something else, or call itself 
recursively. In either case, its declarative region, with its declaration of the 
function, would be nested deeper than the declaration of the access type. Since 
this is a compile-time check, it rejects anything that might be deeper, even 
when it never is.

The basic rule with named access-to-subprogram types is that the actual 
subprogram must be declared in a library-level package.
