Because by using access values, one would have to manage the memory
associated with the object. Also, a dangling reference could be left
behind. See Jeff Carter's post:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/browse_frm/thread/93d7def3eeefbc26/e8e7d2d6f3847f5c#e8e7d2d6f3847f5c

IMO, a proper construct to allow hiding of implementation detail from
child packages is superior to this suggestion.
