There is no generic types in Ada. Then, essentially, genericity does not
provide any types composition. So here generic could only mean
parametrization of some non-generic type composition:

- extension by inheritance (that was 1)
- indirection (that was 2)

There also is aggregation which wasn't mentioned for obvious reasons.
