  91    --  posted later by Check_References. The reason we do things that
  92    --  way is that if there are no assignments anywhere, we prefer to flag
  93    --  the entity, rather than a reference to it. Note that for the purposes
  94    --  of this routine, a type conversion or qualified expression whose
  95    --  expression is an entity is also processed. The reason that we do not
  96    --  process these at the point of occurrence is that both these constructs

 103    --  referenced in a use or package renaming statement). Appropriate
 104    --  warning messages are generated if either of these situations is
 105    --  detected.

 107    --  A special case arises when a package body or a subprogram body with
 108    --  a separate spec is being compiled. In this case, a with may appear
 109    --  on the spec, but be needed only by the body. This still generates
 110    --  a warning, but the text is different (the with is not redundant,
 111    --  it is misplaced).
 112    --
 113    --  This special case is implemented by making an initial call to this
 114    --  procedure with Spec_Unit set to the unit number of the separate spec.
 115    --  This call does not generate any warning messages, but instead may
 116    --  result in flags being set in the N_With_Clause node that record that
 117    --  there was no use in the spec.
 118    --
 119    --  The main call (made after all units have been analyzed, with Spec_Unit
 120    --  set to the default value of No_Unit) generates the required warnings
 121    --  using the flags set by the initial call where appropriate to specialize
 122    --  the text of the warning messages.

 181    --       since this is typical of conditional compilation in Ada.
