!summary 95-06-25
In A.12.2(3) and A.12.3(3), "is access all Streams.Root_Stream_Type'Class" is correct as is; no "Ada." is needed.
!question 95-06-25
Should "Ada." be added to Streams.Root_Stream_Type'Class in A.12.2(3) and A.12.3(3)? (No.)
!response 95-06-25
Ada.Text_IO.Text_Streams is a child of Ada; hence the name "Streams" is directly visible, and does not need to be prefixed by "Ada.". The same is true in Ada.Wide_Text_IO.Text_Streams.
The reason Streams is directly visible in Ada.Text_IO.Text_Streams is: A child unit is part of the declarative region of its parent, by 8.1(9). Within the declaration region of Ada, the declaration of Streams precedes the declaration of Text_IO.Text_Streams, because Text_IO.Text_Streams says "with Ada.Streams;", by 10.1.4(2). Thus, Text_IO.Text_Streams is within the immediate scope of Ada.Streams, by 8.2(2-3). Thus, the declaration of Streams is directly visible, by 8.3(21).
