Small remark: do not confuse using the use clause, and not using
selected names. You are perfectly allowed to use slected names within
the scope of a use clause if you feel it is more readable!

I am a known supporter of the use clause, however for classes, I use the
package for the object name, and "object" for the record that's the data
part of it. Of course, I always use selected names in that case.

[small plug] There is an AdaControl rule to check that some names always
use selected notation.

Whether or not you are hostile to the use clause, the best advice is to
choose a name which is nice for your favorite notation, and acceptable
for the other one.
