??? You can instantiate anything in a package spec. And yes, it will have
the effect of putting a body inside a spec. For example, try to instantiate
in a spec a generic package whose body has statements, like Put_Line; the
body will be executed when it is elaborated, i.e. from the middle of the
specification.

When you are a user, you can think that a spec cannot contain a body; those
who have approached a compiler would not make such a statement ;-)
