By the way, I forgot to ask: Why would you (or anyone
else) ever need to do i/o on variables of a generic formal
private type from inside the generic unit? Except for
equality tests, your generic unit body can't assume anything
about the nature of the private type. Of course, you may be
importing functions defined on that type as well to be used in
the generic unit, but to check their behavior you should put
i/o statements in THEIR bodies (which are defined outside
the generic unit).
