Simply define the types and instantiations you need at the
library level, and parametrize them appropriately. Again,
if you post complete examples, it may be easier to help.

You are making the mistake of having a preconceived idea
of how to do things, and unfortunately the idea is wrong.
Try describing what you want to do at a high level, rather
than providing solutions that are wrong and complaining
about the solutions not working.

The trouble with the latter approach is that then we have to
guess at the problem you are trying to solve, and this guessing
often goes astray.
