This is true only in with_clauses; you must say "with Ada.Text_IO;" and
not "with Standard.Ada.Text_IO;".  In normal code, you can say things
like:

    Standard.Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line("Hello");

If you declare a library package called Standard, like this:

    package Standard is
    end Standard;

you will get a child of *the* Standard also called Standard;
that is, Standard.Standard.  That would be a pretty silly
thing to do, but it's legal.
