Then, may be a point to discuss about : when using a "_Mixin" packages (or "_Facet", after Rosen, this is the same), as a "_Mixin" package is generic (this would not make sense otherwise), the "Generic_" prefix may not be needed when the package is "_Mixin". Or perhaps "_Mixin" (nor "_Facet") should not be used after-all, and only "Generic_" should be (showing no difference between "_Mixin" and others "Generic_").
