Sorry, but I don't understand what you are trying two do. In Ada, a
"compilation unit" is either a package spec, a package body, a
subprogram... What kind of compilation units are you trying to merge?
And what would be the benefit of doing so?

A landmark of good design is that each package should be strongly
coherent and weakly coupled, i.e. it should correspond to /all/ of /one/
thing. You can't keep this if you merge two packages...

I doubt it, because I see no point in doing that (or I misunderstood
what you mean by compilation unit, if not in the Ada sense).
