What about this, the use here is not possible:

package P is
   X : Integer;
end P;

with P;
procedure P2 is

   P : Integer;

   procedure Proc is
      -- use P;            <- this is not possible because P integer
      V : Integer;
   begin
      V := Standard.P.X;   <- and you need full qualified name
   end Proc;

begin
   null;
end P2;

Also all the "with" are in the same places, easy to find, but "use" can be put
in any part of the code. And you certainly don't want to "use" all packages,
right ? All symbols visible ?

I still think that "with" and "use" is ok.

Pascal.
