I am using "Generic_" because it is almost impossible to do anything
otherwise if you have really many generics. And I do, because I have to.
If anything has to have a separate name space then generics is the first
candidate. Generic unit is not a unit, it is a macro, a term of the meta
language. There is no reason to have it also a proper name in the object
language. The object language does not operate it. This is comparable to
the names of the "cut" and "paste" buttons in the IDE. Why an integer
variable may not have the same name as the "paste" button? (:-))
