OK, I'm back on track...
The persistance/streams stuff havn't really been a concern of mine, so
I will not comment on that.
As for the instansiation complexity, Yes, it can be complex, but
somehow I've always managed. I guess that it took an hour or so the
first time with a lot of digging around in the source. But once one
get the feel for it the biggest problem is IMHO to com up with
sensible names for the 'intermediate' packages/types. Sometimes I
really whish that Ada would provide anonymous types.
