That would be legal only if there were a root library unit (ie child of
the predefined Standard) called Standard, and it had a child unit called
Ascii, which is highly unlikely.

You can't say "with ASCII;", either, because ASCII is not a library unit
-- it's a package nested within a library unit.

This stuff is described somewhere in chap 10 -- "Environment-level
Visibility" or something like that.  The predefined library unit
Standard is not visible in a with_clause.
