Legality Rules

       If the package_name of a package_renaming_declaration denotes a limited view of a package P, then a name that denotes the package_renaming_declaration shall occur only within the immediate scope of the renaming or the scope of a with_clause that mentions the package P or, if P is a nested package, the innermost library package enclosing P.

Static Semantics

   A package_renaming_declaration declares a new view of the renamed package.
