This is a misconception. It's no language concern how you store Ada units. Whether you store specs and bodies in one file or separately does not affect the 
semantics.

And you do not "with" .ads, .adb, or .ada _files_, you with Ada units.

Having specs and bodies separate is ony a convention of some compiler vendors.
