How does that work?

Because if I move out the declaration of the Die_Size subtype out of the
function, I cannot instantiate Discrete_Random with a run-time dependent
range, right? 

And I'd need to instantiate Discrete_Random outside the function,
because otherwise I can't call Generator, or can I?
