Except that in Ada, a package can be used as a parameter for a
generic instantiation, but in C++ a namespace cannot be used as
a template argument. Given that C++ classes can have arbitrary
things defined in them (types, static functions, constants, etc.)
considering them as an analogue of Ada packages is not wrong.
