I'll join the team. - Although I do use use clauses inside
procedures and functions, when it seems to make the code
easier to read.

But it is a bit problematic, when some of our tools (the GUI
builder GLADE is one notable example) sprinkle the package
headers very liberally with use clauses.

Greetings,

Jacob
