-  understand how this works with enumarated types

This error is to do with the visibility of 'free'
functions (i.e. functions that are declared implicitly
on definition of a type), e.g. '=', '/=' etc.  These
functions have the same visibility rules as other
sub-programs declared in a package.  These rule apply
regardless of the type of the type (if you see what I
mean).

Ways of avoiding 'use'*:
1.  'use type package.typename'
2.  function '=' renames examiner.'='

Hope this helps,

* Don't try and type these in as they probably won't
work - I haven't checked the syntax.  Hopefully
they'll give a pointer.
