  34    -- Handling of Renamed Units --
  35    -------------------------------
  36
  37    --  A compilation unit can be a renaming of another compilation unit.
  38    --  Such renamed units are not allowed as parent units, that is you
  39    --  cannot declare a unit:
  40
  41    --     with x;
  42    --     package x.y is end;
  43
  44    --  where x is a renaming of some other package. However you can refer
  45    --  to a renamed unit in a with clause:
  46
  47    --     package p is end;
  48
  49    --     package p.q is end;
  50
  51    --     with p;
  52    --     package pr renames p;
  53
  54    --     with pr.q ....
  55
  56    --  This means that in the context of a with clause, the normal fixed
  57    --  correspondence between unit and file names is broken. In the above
  58    --  example, there is no file named pr-q.ads, since the actual child
  59    --  unit is p.q, and it will be found in file p-q.ads.
  60
  61    --  In order to deal with this case, we have to first load pr.ads, and
  62    --  then discover that it is a renaming of p, so that we know that pr.q
  63    --  really refers to p.q. Furthermore this can happen at any level:
  64
  65    --     with p.q;
  66    --     package p.r renames p.q;
  67
  68    --     with p.q;
  69    --     package p.q.s is end;
  70
  71    --     with p.r.s ...
  72
  73    --  Now we have a case where the parent p.r is a child unit and is
  74    --  a renaming. This shows that renaming can occur at any level.
  75
  76    --  Finally, consider:
  77
  78    --     with pr.q.s ...
  79
  80    --  Here the parent pr.q is not itself a renaming, but it really refers
  81    --  to the unit p.q, and again we cannot know this without loading the
  82    --  parent. The bottom line here is that while the file name of a unit
  83    --  always corresponds to the unit name, the unit name as given to the
  84    --  Load_Unit function may not be the real unit.

 112    --  returns the unit number for the previously constructed units table
 113    --  entry if this is not the first call for this unit). Required indicates
 114    --  the behavior on a file not found condition, as further described below,
 115    --  and Error_Node is the node in the calling program to which error
 116    --  messages are to be attached.

 118    --  If the corresponding file is found, the value returned by Load is the
 119    --  unit number that indexes the corresponding entry in the units table. If

 121    --  analysis, then the Fatal_Error flag of the returned entry is set and

 123    --
 124    --  If the corresponding file is not found, then the behavior depends on
 125    --  the setting of Required. If Required is False, then No_Unit is returned
 126    --  and no error messages are issued. If Required is True, then an error
 127    --  message is posted, and No_Unit is returned.
 128    --
 129    --  A special case arises in the call from Rtsfind, where Error_Node is set
 130    --  to Empty. In this case Required is False, and the caller in any case
 131    --  treats any error as fatal.

 138    --  case of loading the corresponding spec when the main unit is a body.
 139    --  In this case, Corr_Body is the unit number of this corresponding
