   I was refering to the fact that in Ada 83, put aside efficiency
issues, you could have completly removed the notion of private part,
and put everything in the body without changing (too much) the
language, since nothing can gain visibility to the body (or to the
private part), so this private part could be considered as part of the
body.

   But in Ada 95, the visibilty model has been refined and child units
have visibility to something in the parent which is not the public
part, so you cannot remove this notion of private part without
changing the language (disallowing child units, or giving them full
visibilty to the body). Putting the private part elsewhere doesn't
change the fact that this notion has to exist for other reasons than
efficiency in Ada 95 (together with public and body).
