Not off-hand; I shouldn't have wasted the time on this discussion in the 
first place.

But I'll say that examples involving empty packages and useless withs don't 
really prove anything regardless of the language involved - they're not very 
realistic. I'd suggest looking at examples of privacy (which Ada is very 
strict about) and comparing to other languages (which I don't know well 
enough to do myself).
