Generics were a very power feature of Ada-83.  With the OO features
introduced into Ada-95 (in particuliar, the tagged record and ability to
inherit), are Generics obsolute?  I would guess since several features
were added to generics (like generic formal package parameters), the
answer is no.  Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
