Hello all,

I didn't find anywhere any reference to this, but I'm wondering
anyway : is it possible to do partial generic instanciation, 
something like partial template instanciation in C++ ?

Say for example you have a package like this :

generic
   type T_1 is private;
   type T_2 is private;
package Pkg is
-- ....
end Pkg;

Is it possible to declare a new package with something like :

with Pkg;
generic
   type TT is private;
package Pkg_Int is new Pkg(T_1 => Integer, T_2 => TT);

I *know* this actually doesn't compile, but is there some syntax I'm
not aware of to achieve this ?

Best regards,
