(Resolved) Packages should not be required to be first in a compilation unit

[jeffdyer]

Packages are just namespaces, there is no reason to require them to come first in the program.

Here is a simple use case:

use namespace intrinsic
package p
{
   // define stuff in p that might want to use stuff in the
   // intrinsic namespace
}

There has been agreement about this in the past.

I have actually lifted this restriction in my type-closures branch. Packages, like units, and anonymous sequences of directives, are reorganized to be syntactically a form of fragment. Fragments can come in any order.

packages (and thus import) have been removed from the feature-set of ES4
