Well I am sure you are misreading Cohen here, because it is
obvious that if you do a generic instantiation at elaboration
time, the generic instance may do all sorts of function calls
during is elaboration. Perhaps you are getting mixed up between
a generic package and a generic instantiation.

I will repeat, there is NEVER a case where pragma Elaborate
is appropriate in Ada 95.
