The following two sentences are from the wikibook on Ada Programming
(which seems somewhat prominent). They start the section on generics.

"The idea of code reusability arises because of the necessity to construct
 programs on the basis of well established building blocks that can be
 combined to form an ampler and complex system. The reusability of code
 improves the productivity and the quality of software."

No offense intended, but do they actually say much at all?
Do they teach generics, specifically?
To me, they sound almost---without wanting to rebuke authors--like
having been dropped from Gautier's CBSG.
