Indeed, there was a formal proof for Ada 95 that there were no Beaujolias effects (which is essentially the same thing). I could see eliminating some of the hiding rules that Ada already has, but that's different than what you describe above: those declarations effectively don't exist in scopes where they are hidden, so they can have no effect on resolution or legality.
