I'm pretty sure that's not the case with package block.  The syntactic
equivalence of "package Foo { ... }" with "{ package Foo; ... }" is a
quite complete and precise description both of the effect that I'm aiming
for and of how it's implemented.  So I don't think there's room for
surprises in this case.  I totally accept the issue in the general case.
