Just add the following lines on top of your package that implements
the Tree data structure on type character:
generic
type character is private;
and it will work on generic data. To instantiate it, use the following
code:
package tree_of_limbs is new character_tree (character => limbs);
Then it will work on TYPE LIMBS exactly as it worked on type character.
The operational thing here, is that you already have it working on
a single character. If you did not, then you could not re-use the
code, since the code does not work. But since you have the code
working on one type, it is often trivial to re-use it on other types
in the Ada programming lanaguage.
