Well it is not mandatory to put the with and use clauses for the same package
on the same line. See AWS sources for example. The with are before the unit
and the use are put if possible in the deepest nested block, sometimes for the
whole package. So the editor won't help here ;)

The "with and use" proposal will just "help" people to ALWAYS use packages.
I think this is wrong. You bet it, I do not like use clause and use them only
for packages design to be "used" (like Ada.Strings.Unbounded for example) or
empty root packages like Ada or GNAT.

Just my 2 cents, and Happy New Year!

Pascal.
