A use clause (as well as any declaration) is usable from where it
appears up to the associated "end".

In the first case, it will allow short names for other with/use clauses,
while in the second case it will be effective only inside the package.

Personal note: it is quite rare to need use clauses in context clauses
(the first case), and my personal policy is to use use clauses, but
restricted to the innermost scope where they are useful. Therefore, I
tend to prefer the second solution.
