If nothing else, Pascal's packages are a great reason why local package
nicknames are incredibly useful. I never USE packages, and always fully
qualify symbols outside the current package. The informatimago packages
clear, but when fully qualifying them it makes it a bit too much. Local
package nicknames solves this.

If local package nicknames were available everywhere I'd rename all my
packages to follow Pascal's conventions in a heartbeat.
