ARM 12.1 (http://www.adaic.org/standards/05rm/html/RM-12-1.html) lists 4 kinds
of generic formal parameters, only one of which is a type. So you clearly
haven't done much investigation of Ada.
In addition to a generic formal parameter, you can have various subtypes of an
unconstrained array type, or a discriminated record type with an array component
constrained by the discriminant, to achieve similar things.
