To my supprise GNAT seems to say that I cannot have private generic
child packages:

1   -- Demo.ads
2   package Demo is
3
4   end Demo;

1   -- Demo-Child.ads
2   generic
3      type Some_Type is private;
4   private package Demo.Child is
5
6   end Demo.Child;

GNAT/DOS 3.07 => demochil.ads:4:01: unexpected keyword "private" ignored

Either this cannot be done, the syntax is wrong or this is a plainly
stupid construction. However, I cannot find any reference to this in the
RM (or in [Cohen]). Can anyone point me in the right direction ?
