Unfortunately, Mark, Marc, and Pat all forgot to mention that you
have to "with" the child unit where you plan to instantiate it.
The way to think about a "with" clause for a child is that it effectively
inserts the child into the parent.  With a child of a generic,
inserting the child into the generic parent means that all instances
of the generic parent now include the generic child nested within
them.  You can then instantiate one of those nested generics,
given any instance of the parent.

But the key thing to remember is that the nested generic is only
made visible where a "with" clause for the generic child applies.
